This problem persists with recent versions of Ubuntu and Evince when
editing files on CIFS/SMB shares, even after disabling AppArmor.

The reason for this is that Evince attempts to move the temporary file over the 
original PDF while it still has the latter file open, and overwriting open 
files is not supported by SMB:
