While reading a PDF using Firefox PDF Viewer, I highlighted certain passages occasionally saving (using the print icon) for future retrieval. Later when I did re-open the file, none of my highlighting was visible. I have tried alternative browsers, various PDF readers, etc. without luck. I really do need that highlighting. Thank you

My highlights are visible after opening the file in Firefox via file:///, making highlights, and then downloading the file. When opening the file my highlights are still there and I'm able to add the red highlights. see screenshot
