I wrote a proposal and sent it in PDF form to my supervisor. She highlighted the proposal and left comments, but I can't see these comments when the PDF is opened in Windows or Ubuntu. I tried foxit reader and Adobe Reader, but in both, the highlights are visible, but comments appear as empty rectangles. Are there any apps or online web sites that I can use to see the comments?

2Firstly, welcome to Ask Different! :) Are you able to add some more details such as what your supervisor used to review the PDF (e.g. Mac v PC, and what software). Also, have you tried opening the file with Preview just to see what happens? Finally, please advise what version of macOS you're running.– Monomeeth ♦Dec 19, 2018 at 11:54

@Monomeeth - I think the OP created and is reading the returned PDF in a non-macOS environment and the supervisor opened and commented on a macOS system. I edited to make this clearer. User137927 - I think the problem may be font related. Your supervisor may have used a font on her macOS system for the comments which is not available in Windows or Ubuntu.– IconDaemonDec 19, 2018 at 12:31

@IconDaemon Ah yes, I think you're right. That seems to be a better interpretation of the question! :)– Monomeeth ♦Dec 19, 2018 at 12:52

@Monomeeth Thanks :) My supervisor said that she used preview for commenting, but I can't open and see them at all.– user137927Dec 19, 2018 at 20:39
