publishing errors

Dave Brach
Expert
Ever since I started using 19, occasionally when I try to publish a series of Layouts, the last layout fails to publish. when I click on it I get the generic message "item cannot be published. may be in use by another application or person". I try to delete the layout in the publisher set and transfer it over again. I also try to just re-name it but it still refuses to publish.

Also PDF Publishing fails if you have the Finder showing the folder were the PDF resides. You have to close the finder window and then it works.

I would try not using full stops in your file name.

I have the exact same problem as the original poster.
If the existing drawing is already in the same location it will not override and instead tells me it can't publish because the item is already in use from another user. It is incredibly frustrating. I'm using V20 on Mac OS Sierra.

I will try quitting preview each time to see if it helps, but this should not be considered an acceptable work around... and no matter what, the error message should just tell me it doesn't want to override, why the cryptic error message?
