I annotated a pdf in Preview and then added it as a multimedia file to Reunion. The pdf displays but the annotation (a red box to highlight one item on the pdf) does not. How can I get the annotation to appear? As an experiment I converted the pdf to a jpg and to a png. In both those cases, the annotation shows up in Reunion. However, with the pdf, I get the option to enlarge the image whereas with the jpg or png, I do not. Since the image is a map, I much prefer the enlargement capability.

Re: annotated pdfs
Originally posted by Fred K View PostI annotated a pdf in Preview and then added it as a multimedia file to Reunion. The pdf displays but the annotation (a red box to highlight one item on the pdf) does not. How can I get the annotation to appear?...
1. Open the PDF file (i.e., let's call it file "A") in Preview where the annotation does appear.
2. Export it as a relatively high quality JPEG file.
3. Open the JPEG file in Preview and export it as a PDF file. (Name the exported PDF file "B" so it is not confused with the original PDF file "A.")
4. Link PDF file "B" appropriately in Reunion.
Based on my testing, the annotation still appears in PDF file "B" after it was linked to a person in Reunion. And, when zooming in on the image within Reunion, the image stays clear.
Incidentally, I will pass a note onto our engineers to see if we can do anything about the initial problem with the annotation not appearing in the PDF file originally linked in Reunion.
However, in the meantime, I hope this is a viable alternativeDeb Stuller
