It is not a "save as," it is just a "save" somewhere there the PTO has decided to put the file with the useless name the PTO has decided to give the file.

EFS-Web used to accept such document (with electronic signatures) with a warning about how the signatures might or might not be interpreted.  Patent Center will not allow upload of such a document.  No warning or message is given -- the upload just freezes.  I figured it out myself.  I had to "flatten" it (by export to TIFF and then back into PDF) to get Patent Center to accept the document.
