Getting a .tmp file when I save a PDF

Need more context. Windows? Mac? What version? Are you downloading to an import folder? Is this an artifact of the downloading process (which could say, create a .tmp file while the download is active, and then rename it when the download's over)?

Sorry Windows. 5.6.4xxx 

 

It seems to be if I save a PDF using the save function in the adobe interface to my import folder. If I download a pdf directly into my import folder I don't get it. My default download folder is my EN import folder, so if I click on a link which immediately downloads the PDF, no tmp file. If it opens in an Adobe frame in the browser and then I click on the save as button, the tmp file appears in my default notebook. They are not in my import folder. 

 

 

I do it both ways  many times a day and this just started a few days ago.

Evernote may be trying to import the file before it is finished downloading.  You might try downloading to a different folder, then moving it to the Evernote Import folder after it has finished downloading.

Well, you haven't updated Evernote in awhile, as it's up to 5.7.x now. I did notice that Adobe updated recently. Anything else that's in the loop change recently?
