It looks like this PDF reader locks the file it views. You may try "by hand" - copy a PDF file to a temporary name or path - open the PDF file with XChange - copy another PDF file to this temporary name or path Does the viewer auto-update (like evince or okular), update after clicking (like adobe) or give an error (like in the above description)? The last variant points to a problem with this viewer - report it as bug and/or look for a different alternative. Günter
