Hi, Sometimes pdftex quits with a fatal error (e.g. when a pdf image is invalid); in that case the pdf file is corrutp. I think that in those situations either the fils should be correct, but since that is tricky, that alternatively the file is simply deleted automatically. Better no file than a corrupt one.
