Dear Adobe...

[alexpgp]

Developers of so many other commercial applications have figured out how to close a file in such a way that you can do something to it, like rename it, or move it and not be blocked by the operating system, which reports that the farblegargling file is still open.

Why do I know it's your app that's the culprit?

Well, if I exit Acrobat, and then go in and terminate all three farblegargling Adobe processes you apparently insist on running in the background, voilà, the operating system starts to treat the closed file as... wait for it!... closed!

Cheers...

I no longer use Adobe products to deal with pdf files. Besides crap like you mention, their background processes continue to soak up a lot of cpu cycles even when the programs have been closed.
