Hi guys,
I hope you are having a good weekend.

I am using PDF Activities from BelaRava to split the pdf. Sometimes it generates an extra page which is corrupted can not be opened with adobe.
When I try to delete that file it gives me error is being used by another application. This happens also when i try to move it. No application is using it and I can delete it manually.
Very frustrating.
Any suggestions ?

Hey @hurmet.noka

May be it’s due to split activity not releasing it.

Try killing the pdf based processes.

Thanks

You need to check in the task manager once.

Okay but you are trying to split the PDF ?

Could you please explain your business case in this !

Thanks

Hi @hurmet.noka

Kill the process by process ID not by process name

try this code:

processes.allprocesses.where(Function(x) x.name=“AcroRd32” and x.username=Environment.currentuser).select(Function(x) x.processid)

use the process id parameter to kill the process

Thanks & Regards,
