Description of problem: Acroread appears to leave many little files in /tmp when a file is printed. Over time, these files are not cleaned up and accumulate in /tmp. They are not cleaned up via tmpwatch, it seems. Is it possible this is a cups problem and not an acroread problem? When one runs "file" on a representative file, the following output is given: [root@syrah tmp]# file 492acf2fc2ded 492acf2fc2ded: PPD file, ve Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acroread-8.1.3-1.el5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a file in acroread. 2. print the file. 3. Actual results: Numerous small files generated in /tmp that accumulate over time. Expected results: No small files generated in /tmp that accumulate over time. Additional info: Bug report generated due to user observation and complaint.
