I use pdf reader on my iPad to fill out forms. Often, the text I enter does not save. I click "Done", get no error message, re-open the document, and some or all of what I entered is no longer there. It's absolutely maddening. I've updated the app, google searched solutions and I can't find a fix.
Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.
Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat Reader app and the OS you are using? Tap on the profile > About Acrobat, try updating it from the App Store to the latest version 25.03.0, and reboot the device once.
If the issue still occurs, please share a small video recording of the steps you are taking and the issue as is occurs for more clarity and further investigation.
I'm having the same problem with annotating PDFs with apple pencil on my iPad. I'm starting to look around for another PDF reader. I too have updated app, googled solutions....

I know Adobe doesn't care, but I thought I pop in and say that FOUR YEARS LATER this bug still isn't fixed. C'mon, Adobe! Saving files is the most basic software function in the universe. How can you not get this right???
Hope you are dong well and we are sorry to hear that.

I have also had this happen recently. Worked great for noting over pdf files and highlighting text etc but one day a few weeks ago just stopped saving the notes I have made with the apple pen. Very frustrating when you lose hours of work. Even more frustrating when I come on and see no apparent solution.
