After upgrading to Sonoma, I have issues after modifying a PDF in Preview. If I delete a page within a PDF file, after saving the file, all fields in the file become blank after closing the file and re-opening.
Has made Preview completely unusable for editing PDFs which is very disappointing.
Anyone else having this same issue? Any suggestions?

You can file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
The suggestion is use a true PDF editor and compare your results
there are many, here are a few examples:
Acrobat Reader / Adobe Acrobat DC
PDFpen / Nitro
pdfExpert
Master PDF Editor

Foxit Reader / Editor
Adobe works just fine. It's only Preview that I am having issues with. Even after editing with Preview, if I open the file in Adobe, all fields have been deleted.
I just prefer to use Preview because of the ease of use over Adobe.
Thank you!
After Sonoma upgrade, Preview deletes data after modifying a PDF
