PDF Distribution Finished with Error

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello guys!

I'm doing this PDF distribution using QlikView Publisher and I'm getting this error (sorry for the long log,I also attached it to the post).

It's like another task is opening some kind of shared service and the script isn't available to use it. Any clue how can I solvde this? Do I need to attach some other configuration?

Best regards!

I'd take a look at this:

The process cannot access the file 'C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\temp\8691f05c-bb12-4e55-bbaf-e591d355f900\5af4066b0d6f496aa7eee91e12a229a7.pdf' because it is being used by another process.

If the PDF is open, it cannot be written. It could be the antivirus software or another process reading it.

Hi Miguel! any clue how can I check if there's any program using it?

I have been using OpenedFilesView - View opened/locked files in your system (sharing violation issues) for years, and if my memory serves me well, I got to it because it was mentioned in the MSDN forums as a trusted software.

I'm sure there are similar tools you can find from Windows Sysinternals which will also work.
