Whenever I save a PDF out of InDesign CS5 and there's a PDF with the same file name existing it gives me an error saying that PDF file is in use, and PDF can't be created, etc. Previously (using CS4), it just used to overwrite the file and go on with life.
Anybody know how to get it to stop complaining and just overwrite the PDF like it should?

Whenever I try to save a PDF from InDesign and that PDF is actually selected in the Finder (Mac), it gives me that error. If you deselect it, InDesign will instead prompt you to write over it. Cheers.
Yes, I am not a fan of this either. Since the Finder creates a preview image when a file is selected, it is, essentially, open.

make sure that PDF file is not selected for preview or opened in acrobat.
