Moving marked up PDFs in Books to Notability
My mark-up on a PDF won't save. It's not visible on the PDF when I share it to Notability. Why is that and what do I need to do?

Hello KxngGreen,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Let's make sure your PDFs are being saved by using this article: Save PDFs to the Books app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Once it is saved, open up the PDF in the Books app to verify if the markup changes show up.
This will help us isolate the issue and determine if Markup is being saved or if the issue is with your 3rd party app.
Let us know the results.
Good Luck!
KxngGreen,
That's good to know. If you share the PDF somewhere else, such as through Mail, do the edits then appear? If not, if you quit the Books app and relaunch do you still see your edits? If you're not seeing the edits when sharing to other places or quitting and opening the Books app again, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support to look into this more: Get Support
If this only happens when sharing to Notability you'll want to reach their Support to look into this more: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
They are already saved in Books, I then use the markup tool. When I attempt to share it, the PDF will send, but without the markup.
