as you can see in the example I would like to keep the annotation but without having the big annotation icon because that covers words on lines above the annotation and for you to know what the hidden word is you have to hide all annotations which defeats the whole purpose of using EDGE annotations to explain stuff on a pdf.

So, is there to a way to make the annotation icon smaller? or hide it without hiding the annotation itself?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there's no way to remove the icon while keeping the annotations. However, you might be able to make it smaller by disabling the current Adobe-powered PDF viewer.

Go to edge://flags > search for New PDF Viewer and set is as Disabled

See if this works.
