Reduce File Size producing .tmp files

Report · May 03, 2017

I have an action wizard with a Preflight fix followed by Reduce File Size (Image 1). I have a "Move to Option" on the Preflight fix (Image 2).

When I apply this action wizard to a pdf with a file name of 017.pdf, the file name is completely changed and saved as "A9RB40B.tmp" file in c:\Automatically Labeled Exhibits. Why?

When I remove the Reduce File Size from the Action Wizard, I get a 017.pdf file like normal but obviously then I don't have a reduced file size.

How do I prevent this? I want to retain the file name and .pdf. I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.16 on Windows 7.
