Fix for "Can't view PDF annotations on my iPad's Notability app"
Some PDF annotation apps store annotations in a way that Notability can't display. If a PDF's annotations don't appear in Notability, you can use these steps to make a new PDF that shows the annotations.
- Open the annotated PDF in the free iPad app named Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Go to "Settings> Preferences..." from the mini avatar on the upper right.
- Navigate to the "SHARING" section.
- Activate "Share a Flattened Copy".
- Share a copy of the PDF to Notability.
At this point the annotations should be visible in Notability.
