What is the point of comments in Preview if they are going to disappear whenever you save the document and then open in a new device? I work on multiple Macs and moving these comments from one machine to another is important. I save the documents both in iCloud and in Google Drive.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
I just applied the following annotations to a PDF on Mojave 10.14.6 (18G6020):
I copied this file onto iCloud drive, and opened with Preview from Catalina 10.15.6 (19G73). All annotations accounted for in the PDF.
I uploaded the same PDF from iCloud Drive to Google Drive, where all annotations remained intact, and then downloaded it to Catalina (noticed an anti-virus sweep on the Google end), where all annotations remained unchanged as they appeared on Google Drive. I am not experiencing the loss of annotations as you have stated.
Are you opening the PDF on Google Drive with a third-party PDF viewer hosted by Google Drive?
Do the comments created in Preview remain when you do not save, or open the PDF in Google Drive? Comments and other annotations that I place in a PDF survive in the Apple ecosystem (iCloud Drive and n-tuple versions of macOS) whether from High Sierra, Mojave, or Catalina.
The comments stay there, but do not move from device to device. I have tried using Google drive as well as ICloud.
