Cannot edit fillable sections of pdf

I recently began to use Obsidian to edit a pdf, specifically a character sheet pdf for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. I filled it out and saved it, but for some reason there are some issues I have trying to edit out some mistakes I made

What I’m trying to do

I am trying to be able to edit sections of my pdf, but editing it just results in it reverting back to the state it was before I entered/deleted/moved the text, like so:

Text before I try to edit:

rapier

What I change it to:

2 Rapiers

What it reverts back to after I click outside of the editable field:

rapier

But strangely whenever I try to edit fields I have not filled out, I am able to fill them out until I click on another tab, which prompts me to save the pdf, which says that it already exists and asks me if I would like to replace it, so I click yes, after which I go back to the pdf and the edit is gone

Things I have tried

  1. I have tried closing Obsidian with Task Manager and reopening it, and it still does not work
  2. I have tried making a second version of the file and editing it and it does not work
  3. I have tried deleting everything in a particular field and it does not work
  4. I have tried installing the Annotator Community Plugin as it says it lets you edit pdf’s, just to see if it would work, and it does not work.
