PDF Fillable Forms Pulling Previously Entered Data When Opening Form in Edge. Started happening with latest update. (114)

Question

Since the latest Edge update (114) the pdf forms that are opened with Edge are storing previously entered form data even if the form data wasn't saved. I have tried rebooting, clearing form data, history, cookies etc. Hopefully this will be temporary and a fix will be released soon in the next update.

Answer 1

Dear Scott, I understand;

In this case renaming won't help;

As a workaround you can use Adobe Reader for now to open PDF files;

Hope this helps, see you soon!

Hi Luiz, are you a consultant for Microsoft or for Edge? Thank you for your reply.

In our organization, the pdf form link is on our internal website so its accessible to everyone that can use the same form. When they click on the link it opens up the pdf form in Edge browser. So I don't think renaming the file is ideal since everyone that clicks on the link will use the standard pdf form that associated to that link. Does this make sense?

I am noticing that a lot of folks are posting about this issue that I am hoping that this would provide enough interest for this bug to be fixed and released a new Edge update soon? This started happening int he latest Edge release V114. Any feedback you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
