Please help. I'm currently reviewing for a board exam, and was using my Acrobat Premium to do drawings and highlights on PDF files, but they tend to go missing. It's very inconvenient.

@aapeschmaape  are you not saving the PDFs? You need to make sue when you do the edits or highlights that you are properly saving before closing the document. To ensure your work is saved, always make sure to explicitly use "File > Save" or "File > Save As" after making annotations, rather than just relying on auto-save or closing the document. If you're using cloud storage like Adobe Document Cloud, OneDrive, or Dropbox, verify your internet connection is stable and the file is fully synced before closing. You might also try clearing Acrobat's cache or preferences if the problem persists, as sometimes accumulated data can interfere with saving.
