"Build failed" & Adobe Collaboration Synchronizer

[oceanclub]

I've seen issues with being unable to build PDFs and getting the following error:

The process cannot access the file .... because it is being used by another process. Compiler (Internal Error)

After trial and error, I found that killing the Adobe Collaboration Synchronizer process resolves this issue. I haven't tried disabling it permanently yet.

I had this same problem. And so I kept Windows Task Manager always available to delete the Adobe PS items. After a dozen or so instances, the problem stopped.

I ended up creating a BAT file with the following lines that I run if my Flare builds are failing due to Adobe:

Code: Select all

taskkill /F /IM AcroTray.exe
taskkill /F /IM Acrobat.exe
taskkill /F /IM  AcrobatNotificationClient.exe
taskkill /F /IM  AcroCEF.exe
taskkill /F /IM  AcroServicesUpdater.exe
taskkill /f /IM AdobeCollabSync.exe
