Hello Philipp,

I am sorry for misunderstanding you in our previous answer. Indeed, you are right that System.IO.IOException should be handled in RadPdfViewer. I changed the status of the item and added vote on your behalf to increase its priority. In appreciation for pointing out this to our attention I have increased your Telerik points.

Dear Tanya,

thanks for your answer. I know how to handle this in my own code but this issue happens when using the save button of the RadPdfViewerToolBar. This means there is just telerik code involved to crash the application.

To replicate the issue you just need to create a sample application containing a RadPdfViewer with a RadPdfViewerToolBar. Then open a pdf file in the telerik pdf viewer and (another) in adobe reader. Then press the save button of RadPdfViewerToolBar and try to replace the opened file.

Best regards,
Philipp

Hi Philipp,

When a PDF file is opened in Adobe, it is blocked for performing manipulations on it through other applications. That is why the file becomes inaccessible and it cannot be shared between the applications. In this case, the error you are getting is expected as the Stream cannot be opened. Here is a suggestion of how you could handle similar cases: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/493093/c-23pluscheckingplusifplusaplusfileplusisplusalrea.
