Your comment highlighting should not be removed by closing the PDF. I'm not sure if it should appear on an ipad. You can force the highlighting onto the page content layer using a Preflight fixup (Tools> Print Production> Preflight fixups), This should force them to appear on the PDF in any viewer and also appear when printed, although they will no longer be comments.
