Multiple comments not displayed when PDF is annotated by Embed API and later viewed in browser

I am using Embed API to annotate PDFs. If there are multiple comments, post download annotated PDF shows only the first comment (in browser), while Adobe Reader shows all the comments.

How can we see all comments in browser?

To be clear, when you say you test "in browser", do you mean back in Embed, or in the browser's PDF viewer?

The reason I ask is - I tested with our online demo (https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/index.html#/customize/FULL_WINDOW). I added 3 comments. I downloaded the PDF. I then used the upload feature in our demo and the rendered PDF had the comments I had added.

 

If you are talking about the *browser* itself rendering PDF, remember that part of what Embed is trying to solve is issues like this - browsers not consistently and properly rendering PDFs.
