What is going on with Affinity Publisher-created PDFs and Google

[CreativeRaven]

One of my clients uses Google Drive for sharing documents.  Recently created publisher file is having huge issues displaying in Google.  Attached are some views with notes created by a colleague.  The notes are there, but as images and the links are inaccessible.  Also note text issues.

I switched to using Dropbox to share my work with the team, but thats definitely not a long term solution as this organization links the pdfs for their readers. There was and is no issue with the pdfs I created with Publisher v1

Any ideas what is behind this?

Can you give me more information about how you viewing the PDF on Google Drive?  I've exported one of the samples from Publisher to PDF and uploaded it to Google Drive and it's Previewing just fine.

If you export a PDF without the Advanced Features enabled (ticked box at the bottom of the PDF export window) and try viewing that on Google Drive, does it display correctly?
