Hello! So I've had this bug for about a year but never got around to fixing it, couldn't find anything on the web...
Recently two forum posts have shown up here about the exact same issue, and from what I can gather, this bug stems from Avast doing something stupid and not letting Foxit auto-delete the temporary file that starts with "~~":
https://forums.foxitsoftware.com/for...dd-a-highlight & https://forums.foxitsoftware.com/for...er-saves-twice
So I got around to adding the Foxit Software folder to the Avast exceptions, because that method fixed another Avast bug (with Android Studio).
However, the same thing still happens. I can't exactly turn off my antivirus every time I open up a PDF, especially considering how annoying Windows 10 gets, so any ideas or workarounds are much appreciated 😔👏🏻
(No, I don't use OneDrive or Dropbox or anything like that, I have no network drive; and the temp file shows up in the same folder as the original, regardless of where it is.)
- FOXIT Reader Version: 9.7.1.29511
- The issue occurs in every PDF file, gotten from the web or made in my PC or pendrive
- My OS: Windows 10 Pro, but also happens in my laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate
- It happens whether I open the file with a click or via the Foxit "Open" menu
