PDF XChange annotations are not saving (temp folder problem?)
Hello,
I'm having a problem with the XChange PDF viewer within Firefox:
When annotating a file outside of Firefox, I can save the changes and have them reappear when I close and re-open the file
Doing this inside Firefox, I cannot, it appears that the files are saved, but they do no reappear on re-opening. This is true even when annotating a file that is opened from my hard drive (as opposed to opening it from a website)
Doing this inside IE, it works properly. However, I need to use Firefox here at work instead of IE or XChange separately.
I believe the problem lies in the fact that when XChange/FF open a pdf inside FF, a file is created in C:\Temp and the changes are somehow being lost here. Interestingly, if I take the file opened within FF and open it in XChange outside the browser (by using the button in the bottom left of the viewer pane) I _still_ cannot save my changes, and I now get an error message along the lines of: ‘Error saving document to “c:\Temp\pdf38.tmp”: Error [IO subsystem]: Invalid access mode’ where 'pdf38.tmp' is the name of the temp folder created when the original file was opened within FF.
I didn’t have these problems a few months ago, so it’s something to do with the new versions of XChange and FF. Please let me know what you can do to fix this. I really like using XChange, but if this can’t be fixed I’ll have to switch to something else to do my work.

Same exact situation here. Any ideas anyone?
Got the same problem.
I wrote a ton of notes and I freaked out when it didn't work so I emailed the pdf to myself, and its the current version with all the notes that I had just taken.
try it out! it worked for me
