How to avoid the “Move File: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.” error?

Hi,

I am facing the issue on “Move File: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.” I am taking a large PDFS and splitting it with small small PDFS based on some keyword. Everything is going fine but when I am moving the remaining PDF i am getting the above error.

What I done: Before Move I used delay but same issue
: Used Kill process but same issue
: Used GetProcesss activity iterate this and Kill the process but same issue.

When Manually I checked on process there is no PDF process is open there.
I am using Acrobat DC for the same.

@THIRU_NANI I am not reading the PDF files. I am using start process to open the PDF files. Here using the search option. Based on this search we find the index and split the PDFs.
