PDF edits not saving in Files app

My iPad will not consistently let me save my pdf edits to Files. The edits disappear, even when I send the file to someone else. I end up making the same changes multiple times and hope that it eventually saves. The changes that reverse include adding pages, deleting pages, reordering pages, and pencil annotations.

iPad, iPadOS 16

After many hours with apple support I did eventually get a solution. For me it was the file that was the problem.

i had used the same pdf document had been editing it over the years, this eventually stopped saving changes.


after trouble shooting with apple advisor, we went to the first version of the pdf file and lone behold it start saving the changes.
