Prevent Shutdown after editing/changing PDF

I use the built in PDF viewer to open PDF Files. It has the function to add text. However I oftentimes forget to save the PDF after adding text. In other Programs (such as Microsoft Word, Notepad etc.) it prevents the shutdown on Windows when I have unsaved changes by showing a window which apps prevent a shotdown. Is it possible to achieve the same when forgetting to save changes made to pdf's in firefox? Or is there even a way to autosave PDFs after changing them?

This is something the user has to save when editing PDF Firefox AFAIK doesn't save unless the user chooses to save the edited version. Windows power save or turning off is a Windows O/S functions that should be asked in a Windows forum about power save or power off features.
