MicrosoftBruceLH thanks for providing this feedback. Currently the save button just downloads the original copy of the file from the web. Edits on PDF forms are not saved. We are working on getting this functionality up and running and it will be available in coming months. Please stay tuned.
Where's the update?? Trying to help someone with this same problem today and the "Save changes" button still doesn't work. Only solution I've found is switching to Google docs (good job Microsoft!/s) vygadeka
Komal_Prasadmicrosoftcansuckmybutt Hi, am Komal and I am the PM for PDF experience in Edge. Are you trying to use the 'Save' icon (Ctrl+S) as highlighted in this picture? If the problem persists, would you be able to share a sample PDF where you see this issue?
- Yes, I used that icon. The file is in the link above. It is a public website (Official California Court Website), so you don't need any access, just click the link. If you can't access the link, how else should I share the file?
- vygadekaThe functionality to save PDF along with changes was rolled out long back (when I was with the team). Not sure why it should not work. Is there a way you can share the PDF in question or share a screenshot or video for the issue? I can take it up with the right person.
- Another interesting bug is that when you tab through the form fields, it doesn't go in order (even though it does go in order in Acrobat).
Updates!? This issue just ruined my entire day... There is a very prominent save button in Edge, the button is greyed out until you type text into the box, one would think that it functions as a save button..... this is a glaring issue. please eliminate this button altogether or fix it!vygadeka
