Hello, this is what happens: - I create a local Publisher-File. - I drag/drop a .jpg and a .pdf file into it and put them on "linked" - I open the .jpg file in Preview and draw something on it and save it - Changes appear immediately in the publisher file - I do the same with the .pdf - No changes appear in the publisher file Further notes: If I export the publisher file as PDFs both changes appear in the exported pdf, however the Finder preview of said pdf looks a bit odd. If I open the changed PDF in Publisher it also does not show the changes I made in preview. It also does not work If I make changes in Adobe Reader. If I open the PDF in Publisher and change something and export it as pdf and overwrite the old one, changes are there, but the old ones are gone System: Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Macbook Pro M1 2021, Publisher Version 2.4 Thoughts: I think it seems to be a problem with the way these changes are made in Preview and Adobe Reader. Even worse, if I add some Text in Preview, the file becomes completely unreadable for Publisher, giving me an error. If I re-import it via drag and drop, it is there but without the Scribbles and Text.

When placing a PDF with mark ups, the mark ups do not display.

Mac OS 11.3.1, M1 Macbook Air, Affinity 1.9.3 When I import pdfs annotated in Mac Preview, annotations (symbols, lines, text, etc.) do not get recognized - only the "base" image is recognized. If I re-export the image as a pdf in Preview, Affinity Photo now sees everything as an image, but exporting to a new document destroys my ability to change the document in Preview. Adobe Reader and the inbuilt pdf reader at Google Drive can see the annotations just fine. Attachments A) "test.pdf" (I'm not sure what uploading it will do, but there should be a small screenshot with black text "annotation added using Preview markup tools" underneath and if opened in Mac Preview, that black text should be editable.), B) "test.png" what test.pdf looks like if opened in Preview, Reader and Google Drive C) "AffinityImport.png" - screenshot of the file as imported into Affinity - the screenshot image comes in, but the text does not Test.pdf
