Markup button not present on pdf in books app

I downloaded some pdf's and added them to my books app on my ipad. however when I try to use my apple pencil to write on it the markup button on the top sidebar is not even an option. Yet when I choose a different pdf I can annotate on it. Anyone know why this is?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hi flball33,


It seems like you're having trouble with Markup and we can help.


If you're seeing the Markup options on all your PDFs but on, it might be that the one you're interacting with doesn't allow Markup.


Take the steps here to use Markup:

Save and mark up PDFs on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Books app


Good luck.
