Page Viewer Webpart getting error: This file is already open or in use.

Management wants to have a Goal Chart to be updated daily with new information without having to get myself involved. All they want to do is save to a Network location and have SharePoint Intranet site use this location to display.
My background is an Intermediate power user, no development. After researching I thought I could use the Page Viewer Web Part by using the File and then specify the Network location. This worked only once.
When management or myself tries to save the updated PDF to the Network location get the following error message: This file is already open or in use.
Please let me know the best way for management to update a network location to update the SharePoint Intranet site.
System is SharePoint 2010 foundation.

This is what I did and it works fine for the original document. I want the user to be able to save to the same location on the Network to have the new PDF display within Sharepoint. When I try to save over the original PDF, I get an error message
when I try to save: The file is already open or in use.
How do I get around getting this message.

This file is already open or in use by another application Error Message

I can't seem to save my AI files any more without getting an error message stating, "This file is already open or in use by another program." None of the previous forums have helped to resolve this problem. The problem begins when I open an Illustrator file that I have previously created, make a few changes, then try to save it under the same name. I am forced to change the name, which it then saves under the new name. Then, I have to restart the computer in order to delete the old file. This entire process takes enormous amounts of time. Working on WinXP using AI CS. I've researched this problem for months, but can't resolve it myself.

Jenifer,
I've been dealing with this problem for a year, and it is a big time waster. Here is a solution someone gave me which resolves the problem. However, there is a tradeoff- one problem for another.
There is a file named aiicon.dll in Program Files > Common Files > Adobe > Shell. If you rename this file to aiiconold.dll (don't delete it), the problem with saving and deleting files will be resolved. However, the tradeoff is that you will lose your Illustrator thumbnails for your AI files. See for yourself. I've been doing it this way for a month or two, and I can live without the thumbnails most of the time. The nice thing about renaming the aiicon.dll file is that you can go back to the original name anytime, and everything will be as it was in the beginning.
I guess Illustrator has an incompatibility issue with the new operating systems. I don't think there are any perfect solutions. But I keep looking. I am as frustrated with AI as you are.

There was an error opening this document. This file is already open or in use by another application

I cannot open any PDF documents. I receive one of two error messages:
"There was an error opening this document. This file is already open or in use by another application."
"This file is in use. Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program."
I do not know how to open the document in another program, so I am perplexed how it could be open in another program.
I tried Repair the Adobe Installation from within Adobe Reader and from the Control Panel (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Uninstall or change a program) using the Change option. I'm assuming they are the same process, although I'm not sure. Neither method worked. I rebooted after each.
I'm at work at a huge federal agency, so we're of course on a network. It takes several days to receive agency IT help, which is why I'm asking here. I can open Word and text documents. Nothing else seems to be amiss on the 'ol pc.
Adobe Reader 11.0.05
Windows 7
As you can tell, I have only limited knowledge of the possible issues.
Thanks!

Shared network drive.
I was not able to open the PDF documents via Notepad.
Interestingly, and perhaps supportive of your hypothesis, I subsequently had problems with Outlook wherein I could not save or close an email I was writing because "you do not have permission." I rebooted my computer and now Outlook works fine (and it save my email, thank goodness), and I can open PDF documents.
Hopefully it will stay this way. If not, I'll be back!
Thank you very much for offering to help.
All the Best,
Mark

Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open". When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature. Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing. We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing. We stored the files in another server and nothing. One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder. Another is saving the file with a different file name.
I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane. See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”. No luck with this one too.
Is definitively an intermittent problem. The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
Any ideas?

The document could not be saved. This file is already open.

This problem recently developed.with several versions of Acrobat Reader 9.x installed. The full version of Acrobat is not installed.
Users used to be able to open an editable .pdf file in IE, edit it and save it. Some users can no longer do this. The are getting
the error message "The document could not be savedl. This file is already open. Users who are able to save from within a browser, are actually
using Acrobat Reader, which opens when opening the .pdf file from within the browser. Everyone can open Acrobat Reader V 9.x, edit an editable .pdf file and save it. It is just when the .pdf file is opened from a browser application, and the reader is not also launched. Help! This just started happening.
Thanks,
Sandy

Unable to add picture to Indesign file: error the file is already open.

I am hoping that someone may have an answer for my question as I can't seem to find a solution anywhere else.
The Setup:
We have a primarly windows network with windows servers and network shares. (Yes all the shares are NTFS formated)
We have six Desktop MACs OS X 10.5.4 added to this network and the MACs have loaded on them the complete Adobe CS4 suite.
The problem:
The issue happens when one of our users is attempting to drop a PSD file into an opened Indesign file.
They user opens the Indesign file first from the network share in folder1, the user the goes to folder2 and attempts to drag and drop a PSD into the Indesign file they get the error the file is already open.
So my first question what would be the most likly cause of this error?
Second question is we also have a program called AdmitMac loaded on the MACs for authenication with the servers.
Could this be interfering in anyway? AdmitMac uses Kerberos authenication, do the Adobe program recognise this Authenication type?

grmg,
There is nothing wrong with the ID file or the PSD file. If the user moves both files to their desktop the drag-n-drop function works just fine.
Even if just one of the files is on the desktop and the other on the network the drag-n-drop works fine.
The issue is when both files are on the network server, that is when we get the error.
Also it doesn't seem to matter what the file type is, the same thing occurs, if both files are on the Windows Server we get the "File already open" error
The Artist just need to make links in ID to the picture files until the final revision.
(We would perfer to keep the files on the server for backup purposes. In the past we have had one to many contractors come in to do work and they do everything on the desktop and when they leave they sometimes delete their desktop. As such the files never gets backed up.)
I need to know what tweak, change or update I can apply so that both files can be on the server and the Drag-n-Drop function still works.
thanks for the reply.

This file is already open by another user or another application-

I am using InDesign CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.4, and sporadically get an error message reading "This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it." This happens when I try to open a saved .indd file. The files are all on my hard drive, I created them, and nobody else has access to them.
So far I've lost a handful of files' worth of work, as I cannot open the file in InDesign as an original or a copy, nor can I copy the file in the Finder (I get "unknown error: -22"), nor can I copy or move it using Terminal, nor can I zip it up. Time Machine doesn't recognize the file, and Apple Support couldn't help.
I tried calling Adobe Support, but after telling me it was $40 for the answer the phone tech sent me back to the website instead of letting me pay!
How do I fix this? I am losing hours of client work every time this happens, and only if I have a pdf version of the file can I recreate the work.
Many thanks in advance.

The last time it happened I restarted, cleared both the PRAM and NVRAM, and ran both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior. Nothing fixed it. I changed the permissions a number of times and that did not fix it.
It's important to note that it doesn't happen to every file I save from InDesign; if it did I would have re-installed CS3 and dealt with that, because this issue never happened before I upgraded. So there's also no way to know if a possible fix is working or not.
Also, there were no placed images or other artwork in the file this happened to most recently.
I've checked my FontCase prefs, and if it's not running it's disabled, so that's out. I have some fonts that had been converted from Windows PostScript to TrueType, so I've disabled those.
As I mentioned in the original post, I am not on a network beyond my home network, which consists of two computers and two routers. The file is on my computer's hard drive, and I am the only person accessing it. While I do use Dropbox, this file is not in that directory.

"File is already open or in use by another application"

I get "File is already open or in use by another application" when opening a PDF in Acrobat and Reader. Only happens intermittently.Files are on a network share.
It doesn't seem to happen as often if Acrobat/Reader are already running. Sometimes it works on the 2nd try, other times it takes upwards of 7 or 8. Not entirely sure if this is an Adobe issue as I've completely reinstalled both programs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Users open shared files but they get an error that file is already open when actually its not

we have a windows 2012 r2 environment with a hyper-v cluster with 4 virtual servers (2012r2) that are located on an hp storage.
users in the office work on windows 7 pc's and sometimes (more than once per day) when they try to open word or excel files from a shared folder they get a message that the file is already open so it opens in read only mode and they cannot save it. we are
pretty sure and tested that that folder is not open from any other user, because some users tried to open files randomly back from 2012 and they got the same errors again.
i cannot reproduce when i want the problem. i may try reopening files for an hour without having problems.
i tried also to write down the hours that the users may have mostly the problem but i couldnt figure a specific time on the day that the problem occurs.its random.
i want to also notice that we have symantec backup exec 2014 and taking backup on tapes and on deduplication folder with the advanced open file option set to "let VSS to select automatically the provider"
the file server does not record any events in system or dfs replication tab. they only events we got once per 1 or 2 days are in the application tab and its exactly this "the volume recovery was not optimized because an error was encountered:
the file move failed 0x89000016) event id 257,defrag"
i hope i gave u an accurate description of my problems. i really have to solve this.

Hi Kostak,
Have you tried to use Process Explorer?
More info: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Simple usage: Part 1: Using SysInternals Process Explorer to solve issues
when trying to clean up files and folders...
This is what I am using to track file handles when tried to open or deleted. Normally I am finding that backup/vss process has taken, antivirus was scanning, or indexing services were working.
I would recommend you to do the next:
- Disable Windows Search from: Control Panel> All Items> Programs and features> Turn Windows Features On or Off> Uncheck Windows Server. Go to services.msc and Stop Windows Search service.
- Exclude affected folder(s) or drive(s) from antivirus scan/protection, at least 24h.
- Disable backup/vss operations on the drive(s) for at least 24h.
Hope it helps, I know how itchy can be this kind of issue at the office :)

Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

Hi,
I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
thanks,
Robert.

I installed the InDesign CC Testversion and now i try to open INDD-Files from earlier Version. Always i get the error "This file is made by an earlier Version...." but it´s CC that is the latest Version. What is the problem ? Should i have to convert the files ?

Adobe has been using confusing version names for at least five years.
There are now two versions labeled CC, version 9 and version 10 (also known as CC 2014). Version 10 is the latest, and if you attempt to open a version 10 file in Version 9 that is not fully patched you will get an error message telling you that the file cannot be opened. The latest patch for version 9 should use a cloud-based service at Adobe to convert version 10 files to IDML and allow you to open that.
I suspect you may be using an older operating system. Version 10 requires that your system runs at least OS X 10.7 or Windows 7 SP1 and if you are not it will not even be offered to you.
