Onedrive pdf annotations not saving

Anonymous

I marked up a pdf earlier today and saved it by both downloading the file onto my device and syncing the file. When I later opened the file, however, none of the annotations were there, meaning I must read it again in it's entirety. How to I ensure my annotations are saved and will not disappear after I close the document?

    I was using the Onedrive application on an Android tablet with the pdf viewer and markup in-app. I was first doing the markup offline, but connected in order to save the file before closing it. I both synced the file and saved a copy to the tablet itself, and neither the saved file or the file synced to the onedrive cloud displayed the markup.

    I simply downloaded another app to use (Xodo).

    Further note:

    Even when the annotations save to the cloud on my android tablet and appear there, I am still not able to see it on another device (my phone, also an android).

    I clicked the button on the bottom right, which opened the screen to do the markup. 

    I then wrote on it, hit the X, saved the file, and then exited and synced the file. When I went back in, the markup was gone. 

    Since then, I have tried it a few times, with it both saving and not saving.
