Hi,
We’re really sorry for any inconveniences this has caused.
If you can answer any of these specific questions, that would be really helpful:
- How long had you been commenting for before you lost data?
- Did you click the ‘done’ button in the top left?
- Did you only use a single tool (highlight), or did you alternate?
- How did you leave the pdf you were commenting before your comments were lost? (Switching to another app, closing the app, etc.)
- Did you share the file?
- Did the app crash?If possible, would you mind taking a screen recording of the issue? You can find information on how to do so here: support.apple.com/en-us/HT207935
Thank you,

By doing this I have noticed that it will show a blue box around text that I have previously highlighted but is not showing it. You can then select a colour and it will re-highlight it. Far from ideal but if you don’t want to re-read a whole document and want to see what you had highlighted in the past that isn’t showing for some reason, this seems to be the only way I have found to do it.

By doing this I have noticed that it will show a blue box around text that I have previously highlighted but is not showing it. It shows the highlight colour as opaque. You can then select a colour and it will re-highlight it.
More than happy to attach a screen shot or recording but can’t see how to attach it to this text window
