Autosave problem while writing with Apple Pencil

Hello, I have an iPad 9th generation tablet and an Apple Pencil. While writing on a pdf file that I opened via the Files application, it suddenly saves the pdf by itself. This situation is repeated very often. Otherwise I wouldn't be bothered, but it happens frequently. What's the problem?

iPad, iPadOS 17

PDF pencil Every day I write on the pdf with my pencil on a Ipad Pro12,9 If i open a pdf on the rigth side of the pdf there is a bar, where I can browse in the documents pages. How can I close this bar ? When I write, constantly touches my hand to the bar, and change it the pages. It is annoying.

Mark up not saving Hi, i have an iPad with an Apple Pencil that I’ve been using since June to mark up PDFs. I find that if i exit the PDF and renter it only half? If the mark up saved, and if I then write on it and leave the PDF, only the new notes will save and the rest will disappear when I re open it from then. Is is this a function of mark up, to not be able to continue to do mark ups and have them saved? Or is it an iCloud thing? Or my iPad thing?

Bug/Change in Pencil PDF Markup in iPad OS Dear Apple, You've changed what was an excellent iOS 12 pencil behavior for PDF markup in iOS 13/iPadOS. You used to be able to scroll PDFs with your thumb while drawing with the pencil to mark-up PDFs. When one would lift the pencil one could continue to scroll without having to "toggle off" the markup icon (top right). In iPadOS the Apple Pencil activates PERMANENTLY the markup feature, and now, when I try to scroll with my left thumb, I unintentionally draw lines on the PDF instead of scrolling. As a user, I now have to constantly toggle off the pencil icon so I can continue to scroll the document, resulting in a terrible user experience for those of us who purchased the iPad to work on large documents digitally with the pencil. Please revert back the pencil behavior for PDF mark up as it was in iOS 12.
