            Bug ID: 135358
           Summary: Export PDF fails if existing pdf is still open: LO
                    should check first and warn user
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Version: 6.4.4.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d775be2011f3886db32dfd395a6a6d1ca2630ff

I have lost count of the number of times I have attempted to export Writer
files as PDFs—only to see the message, "Error saving the document." The reason
for this is very simple: a pdf of the same name is already open. It is a very
easy trap to fall into repeatedly—no matter how experienced.

SUGGESTION: Before going ahead with the PDF export operation, LibreOffice
should check whether a PDF document of the same name is OPEN at that location
and, if so, warn the user to close it first.
