@tazlvrsdad this happens when there's a temporary file created during the viewing or editing process that doesn't quite get cleaned up properly by the PDF viewer, especially if it's integrating with a web browser or email client. To get back to simply saving "filename.pdf," you might try a couple of things: first, ensure your Adobe Acrobat is fully updated, as software updates often fix these kinds of saving glitches. If that doesn't work, consider changing your default PDF viewer to see if a different program handles the saving more smoothly, or if you're opening from an email, try downloading the PDF to your computer first and then opening and saving it, which can sometimes bypass the temporary file creation.
