Fillable PDF forms cache data from previous time it was open
When I open up a fillable PDF using MS Edge, the PDF contains the text I entered the last time even though I didn't save the file. I am opening the file from a website. Same thing happens when openin...
It would be nice if we could get Microsoft's attention on this matter.
Our users are also experiencing this bug. When filling out PDFs in Edge, the previous data is never removed. When attempting to print it either to a new PDF or printer, the previous data remains.
The only workaround I've found is to set Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer and set Edge to download all PDFs by default. This is very cumbersome long term.

This is definitely an issue with 114 as I've reverted to 112 and 113 and the issue does not exist. The issue also exists in 115 and 116 edge dev/canary.
The pdf files are being cached in the user profile folder "Pdf Restore data". You can trigger the issue if you edit a form field in the PDF and wait 10 seconds, save, reload it and try to edit it.
In 112 the cache file gets deleted properly. It doesn't get deleted properly in 114 and persists indefinitely.
