Thanks Chris. I've got 1.037 now. I was on 1.033. Hadn't seen any news
about an update.

Can't find a save button in the top bar.
From left to right with PDF open I have..
Green go back arrow, greyed out go forward arrow, Refresh arrows, Home
icon, scale icon, window with URL in, star, menu for URLs, green arrow.
At top of PDF I have green dot for sidebar with pages listed, box for
page number, of total, Page width.
That's it. No save button.

Changed that to Claim PDFs Never. Made no difference.
