print to pdf deleting prior file
OK so this is a really weird glitch that started happening maybe 2-3 months ago.
When I revise a set of drawings and re-print to PDF, it asks if I want to replace the existing file and I say yes (normal behavior). BUT sometimes instead of replacing the file, it deletes the one that was already there AND does not create the new one. So where I used to have an old version of the PDF drawings, I now have none.
It doesn't happen every time, maybe 20% of the time at most. Any ideas if there's something I can do to fix the glitch?

What changed 2-3 months ago? Is that when you started working remotely? or new PC? or something else?

As I mentioned, it isn't happening every time, maybe less than 25% of the time.
And it's not actually losing write capability to the directory, it's just using the written file like a binary eraser (1 + 1 = 0) on the occasions when it decides to glitch.
I started working remotely back in March so it's not connected with that. It is possible that an Autocad update was applied somewhere along the way that has a bug in it that causes the glitch, but I cannot think of anything we might have done otherwise around that time frame.
Not a huge deal if it's not fixable, just a little odd mostly.

Or some other setup altogether.
Is it always the same DWG file(s) that do this?
Which PDF driver are you using?
What is your AutoCAD version as listed in your ABOUT command?
What is your OS?
