Ok I it might be because of me, that Boyue changed this. In the last firmware, there was a severe Bug that if you changed the color of the pencil in hand-rejection-mode to white, it would stay there and you could not change it back. The only solution to this was going into the app settings of Boyue OS and hit "clear data" to erase the faulty color setting. However guess what happened. All notes on all PDFs were deleted. A Month of work... So I complained at Boyue and the turnout is the current situation I guess. But I think it's better that the notes are directly saved to the PDFs. PDFs are built in a mode like fashion and annotations are stored with the /Annots tag. So it's easy to strip them from the document and get a document that looks like the original

I am currently writing an app that makes use of that stripping of annotions. If you want to, I can isolate the feature in an additional app and send it to you.

Edit: uhm, no luck for me. If I open the original document from the device on my PC, no annotations are visible whatsoever :/
