[Framers] ps file being used by another process

[Böðvar Björgvinsson]

Hi Reng,

Thanks for replying so soon.

When you use Save as PDF, do you use FrameMaker's internal

Started by save as pdf which uses FM's internal pdf engine.
Then I printed to file (first finding out that Adobe PDF was not my default
printer and then changing that).

I only tried this file. And, yes, on Dropbox, but it has not been a problem
earlier.

As a short help I would copy all files of the book to another folder

(best locally) and create the PDF there.

After changing to Adobe PDF it completes the ps (file size as expected).
When either double clicking the file or opening it from within Distiller I
get these messages.

No change in that for a long time. If it is just at all these moments
checking the file, oit would surprise me! (Acronis True Image 2021 — and it
is not set to back up my Dropbox files).

Did you restart Windows?

No.

No. And I have by default the admin rights, except in rare cases.

Best regards,
