Apple Pencil markup not appearing after email recipient opens PDF document

Simply put - any markup made to a .pdf with iOS native apps can only be seen when opened with another native apple application.


i.e.

  • saved a file to icloud
  • opened file on ipad pro and marked up with apple pencil - saved file
  • opened file on OSX desktop with preview - markup is visible
  • open same file with google chrome - no markup


The only solution I have found is to use a 3rd party PDF app.


Surely, I am doing something wrong? Having to leave the apple ecosystem for something as simple as this can't be real.


right?


Thanks for any help in advance!



iPad Pro, iOS 13
