<p>It is unclear to me what the underlying reason for this
discrepancy is. Using (e.g.,) MS Word, I can save an MS Word
document as Adobe PDF. If the previously-saved version is open in
Adobe Acrobat (or in Adobe Acrobat Reader), MS Word forces the PDF
to close and then re-opens the newly-saved version. It seems to
me that the TeX sub-system ought to be able to accomplish the same
thing.<br>
