Hi Paul,
what happens if you call pdfclose --all from the command line while AR
is displaying the file?  I would expect that it closes the file but AR
keeps running.  If yes, does pdfopen reload the file?

I suppose that you can test it on the command line before writing
scripts.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
