KB397297800: HOTFIX 202203028 for Automation Engine 22.03

Summary

Workspaces Viewer: When configured to view PDF files as in ArtPro+, files may remain locked even when quitting the Viewer.

Pilot Viewer: When comparing PDF files, hidden & non-printing layers may incorrectly be compared as well. When configured to view PDF files as in ArtPro+, files may remain locked even when quitting the Viewer.

Symptoms

CS01437440: When configured to view PDF files as in ArtPro+, files may remain locked even when quitting the Viewer in My Workspace or Roll Fed Labels Workspace.
CS01561403: When comparing PDF files in the Pilot Viewer, hidden & non-printing layers of the reference file may become visible, causing differences to be indicated that are not relevant for the comparison.
CS01564811: When configured to view PDF files as in ArtPro+, files may remain locked even when quitting the Pilot Viewer.
The file locking issues with both the Workspaces and Pilot Viewer may cause subsequent workflow tasks that want to overwrite the file to fail.
They may also lead to running into concurrent viewing limits sooner than expected (resulting in messages such as "maximum number of viewing sessions reached").
