I use pdflatex on Windows to compile my .tex code and I can't compile until I close my .pdf file. This is what he tells me:

 latexmk -e '$pdflatex=q/pdflatex %O -shell-escape %S/' -pdf -g .\title-page.tex

! I can't write on file `title-page.pdf'.
Please type another file name for output:

I wouldn't want to use another filename each time I compile.

You can't. If you want to use adobe reader you need an editor that closes the file before the compilation. – Ulrike Fischer Jun 06 '19 at 16:24
