Why won't my highlighting on a PDF doc show up when I drop it into a pages doc?
MacBook Air 13″
Aha! When I phoned in, the lovely woman on Apple Support suggested just taking a screenshot of the PDF and then dropping that into my pages doc. Kicking myself that I didn't think of that - and it worked!!
Annotations are not part of the original PDF text when you drag/drop a one-page PDF onto Pages. On the otherhand, and as picas has suggested, by printing to and saving as PDF, you are "flattening" the annotation into the PDF content and that will appear in Pages. It does on Ventura 13.2 with Pages v12.2.1.
