Same problem here, all our files are on a NAS (cifs share). Ubuntu 16.04 / Evince 3.18.2
When we want to "edit" a pdf file with evince (create annotation in my case) and overwrite the file.. is not possible, i got the same error "Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied". So we still work with Adobe Acrobat PRO by example and this is stupid because this functionality work great with local file in evince.
