I updated Adobe Reader to 7.08 this past week (6/20/2006).
I noticed, whether it was open or closed, ACRxxx.tmp files were getting created in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Each file was around 2 meg and it filled my C drive with 14 gig of files. I deleted all the files and they just started filling again. I checked for viruses/spyware and my system is clean.
I uninstalled Reader. The problem seemed to stop, meaning directly related to reader. Then I reinstalled from web. This did not resolve problem. It returned. I thought I resolved it last night by unchecking "Automatically save changes to temporary files" under Preferences/General. This stopped them last night, but today, after printing a couple of PDF files, back they came again, by the hundreds.
I am using an old Brother HL630 Laser Printer and have never had a reader problem until now.

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

It's a known problem, but we've never been able to reproduce it.

You say "by the hundreds", but I assume you aren't opening hundreds of PDFs, correct?

Have you tried solution 2 in this doc?
