I don't want Adobe to overwrite my file but to save a copy

Question

I am sure I am missing something here, but on Adobe Reader for Android, whenever I edit a pdf and save a copy of it, it also applies the edits to the original file, Is there a way to avoid this?
I need to keep a blank one to edit all the time and right now I have to download it again and again since it keeps modifying also the original

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

As described, you need to keep a blank copy to edit all the time, please try the steps below and see if that works for you:

Download the blank copy of the PDF form to your device and open in Acrobat Reader mobile
Click on the three dots in the top right corner > Save a Copy > On this device , with a different name.
Go back to the home page of the app and edit the newly created copy of the form. This way you will always have a blank copy of the file , as you will be creating and editing the copy of the file.

Let us know if you experience any trouble and need more help.
