Can i force delete a file Created by Aspose as it's still used by Aspose?

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I am trying to save a PDF file as a docx file inside Java using this code:

Document pdfDoc = new Document( pdfPath );
pdfDoc.save( docXPath, SaveFormat.DocX );

But sometimes the process might freeze so i force cancel it using Timeout. Then i try deleting the created docx file but this fails as the file is still opened by the Aspose resources. I am trying this code but it does nothing and the file is still out there:

Document.endOperation();
File corruptedDocxFile = new File( docXPath );
if( corruptedDocxFile.exists() ) corruptedDocxFile.delete();

Is there a way to force release Aspose resources so i could delete this corrupted file?

We tried to reproduce the resource blocking after killing the process but did not reproduce it, the output file is deleted without any problems.

Please, share more details, such as the input file, OS, and details about how to force cancel the process.

Also, you can try to close the Document before killing the process:

Document pdfDoc = new Document(pdfPath);
pdfDoc.save(docXPath, SaveFormat.DocX);
pdfDoc.close();

Or can control the output file with FileOutputStream:

Document pdfDoc = new Document(pdfPath);
FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(docXPath);
pdfDoc.save(outputStream, SaveFormat.DocX);
outputStream.close();
