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 opening a file from local filesystem if the name of the file stays the same.
This is erroneous behaviour, and it might cause data to leak when using a public computer or something similar. The issue happens in Edge Stable 114 and Edge Dev 115.
I'm not sure how long the issue has been here, most likely from the start of 114 stable.

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.

Having the same issue. The only way I have found to "fix it" is a workaround of removing "Write" access to the signed in user via permissions in the folder (Disabling inherited permissions, then removing "Write" access). It's terrible and cumbersome but we need it, unfortunately that also means editing folder access left and right, which isn't working very well in an organization.

That is the same version that I am running, as a workaround I have changed PDF to open in Chrome and it seems to be working. @-_RT_-

Just ran into this here and moving to Adobe reader also works. First time opening did show the last edge content but using Adobe we could save the form locally and make changes. The changes would stick between closing and re-opening the pdf.

@Clint_J It looks like the update that was released today has a fix for this issue. The Microsoft Engineer that I have a support case open with has asked me to test the update today, and it appears the bug was fixed.

@Oriennnn what update fixed this for you? I have tried the Stable Version 115 that was released 7/21, but it still pulls the cashed info.

Out company still faces this issue - is there any update on this?
We have the version 115.0.1901.203

I had success with unchecking all of the edge options in settings under "Personal Info" that say "fill into"
-Save and fill basic info
-Automatically fill my info on sign up forms
-Save and fill custom info
In my companies use case, PDFs were saved as templates, and opened in edge to fill out forms. The templates, when opened in Edge, autofilled previously entered information. Turning off these settings, for us, stopped this.
Hope this helps.
