I'm using Edge to read PDF on Mac. I added some comments and the file size go up very quickly. It has changed from 300KB to 1GB. Opening and saving this file is very slow now. And just before, I saved the file and it crashed. All my new comments were lost. I want to know how to solve it that his size is so exaggerated.

    Thank you. The size of the PDF doesn't change. And it crashed again after clearing cache and others when saving the PDF. And I dare not edit again, I'm afraid of losing my note.

    Thank you for your help. I have tried. I don't know if this will solve the problem. And I'll keep watching. Do you mean that the browser cache or other something is injected into the PDF by Edge？
