I use Microsoft Edge browser pdf viewer because of the annotation features. however, after editing and writing a lot of things on the pdf I would like to have a button to erase all annotations (pen marks, text boxes, highlights) it is such a simple feature I hope it is me who is missing it. in the gear icon on the top rigth there is an option to hide all annotations but not erase them. doing it manually with the erasing tool takes too much time. please help thank you very much in advance

Just right click on the open PDF in Edge, then click "Refresh"- this will "restart" the document and erase it's temporary memory - incl the annotations.

Sure restarting the pdf works but it only works if you haven't saved the pdf with the annotations
I want a way to delete all the annotations after they've been saved ( sometimes I save them by accident.) and then when I want to use the pdf again I have to erase all the annotations one by one.
