    I am having this same issue as of 12/9. The file is becoming overly large after editing by adding text boxes or drawings.

    I downloaded Edge Dev as recommended but that didn’t help. I did find another solution on Reddit which did work - you go to edge://flags, search PDF and disable, then click restart in the bottom right corner.

    The issue of PDF files becoming larger after editing text or drawing in Microsoft Edge version 143 may be related to how the browser handles the saving of modified PDF files. Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain specific information regarding this particular version or issue.

    As a general recommendation, you can try the following steps to potentially mitigate the file size increase:

    1. Use a PDF Compression Tool: After saving the edited PDF, consider using a PDF compression tool to reduce the file size.
    2. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge, as updates may include fixes for performance issues.
    3. Regenerate the PDF: If possible, regenerate the PDF file from the original source, as this might help in maintaining a smaller file size.
    4. Avoid Excessive Edits: Limit the number of edits or drawings to see if that affects the final file size.

    If the problem persists, you may want to report this issue to Microsoft support for further assistance.

    Hello,

    Thank you for reporting this problem. It seems like the production version 143 has this problem.

    Are you trying to add English or the Korean language to the PDF?

    Please download and install Edge dev version from https://aka.ms/EdgeInsider

    It behaves as a separate installer from the Edge production release.

    Once you have it installed, kindly test in that and let me know.

    I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.
