Hello
I'm having some weird issues while saving PDFs with Acrobat Reader DC.
Randomly, I get the message "The file maybe read only. The document could not be saved. This file is already open or in use by another application"
This happens randomly. Sometimes when I click on Save, it simply saves the file.
But, then for the same file, sometimes it prompts me for the location and whether or not I would like to overwrite the existing file.
If I say Yes, it would throw the above error.
This happens randomly.
Another issue that I have seen - If I say Yes to overwrite the existing file, Acrobat renames the file by pre-populating a series of random letters followed by .to
Then if I close the Acrobat reader, and look for that tmp file, it's gone.
I'm running Win 10 pro version 20H2 with the latest version of Acrobat Reader 2021.001.20145
I have tried to repair the installation and reboot (no change)
Change preview pane on/off in explorer (no change)
Saw the exact same behavior on a different Win10 machine.
I'm not sure how to fix this as it's happening randomly.
Please advise.

Sorry for the typo
What I meant to say is -
