Are you certain that is a general behavior? For example, I have Preview open right now, and it very much lists all its open files: iodine:~ shultzc$ lsof -p 1379 | grep pdf Preview 1379 shultzc txt REG 14,2 189325 9688581 /Users/shultzc/Downloads/758206463.pdf Preview 1379 shultzc txt REG 14,2 91087 9682563 /Users/shultzc/Downloads/jo001518o.pdf Preview 1379 shultzc txt REG 14,2 492849 9684998 /Users/shultzc/Downloads/pat5925487.pdf Preview 1379 shultzc txt REG 14,2 818740 9682461 /Users/shultzc/Downloads/103_34.pdf Ditto for Pages: iodine:~ shultzc$ lsof -p 13384 | grep pages Pages 13384 shultzc 13r REG 14,2 93930 7814760 /Users/shultzc/develop/Synthetiq/forms/2010-09-14_Apple_fax.pages I _do_ see that OmniFocus uses a cache instead of the underlying database (kudos!), but unfortunately I don't actually have Office, so I can't test the OP's scenario. But it does seem from the above that this can be handled in an implementation-specific manner, no?
