Hello,

As of this morning, when I try to edit a PDF and add a text box, anything longer than one word gets cut off. It was working yesterday. I do majority of my work in editing PDF's. I have cleared my cache and history. Went into the PDF flags and disabled the PDF viewer and it still won't work. Any help would be appreciated.

    It seems like you're experiencing an issue with adding text longer than one word in the PDF editor. Since you've already cleared your cache and disabled the PDF viewer, here are a few additional troubleshooting steps you might consider:

    1. Check for Updates: Ensure that your PDF editing software is up to date. Sometimes, bugs are fixed in newer versions.
    2. Restart the Application: Close the PDF editor completely and reopen it. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches.
    3. Try a Different PDF File: Test with another PDF file to see if the issue is specific to one document.
    4. Reinstall the PDF Editor: If the problem persists, consider reinstalling the PDF editor to reset its settings.
    5. Check for Conflicting Software: Ensure that no other software is interfering with the PDF editor, such as other PDF tools or extensions.

    If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to the support team for the specific PDF editor you are using for further assistance.

    Hi,

    This looks like a bug. You might want to try installing Edge Beta to check if the issue is resolved there. If it works properly in that version, you can use it for now while waiting for the fix to reach the stable release. Here's where you can get Edge Beta
