So far so good.
However, when I edit (highlight a section of the PDF file) through powerpoint, it does not show in the original PDF file and vice versa. i. e., when I edit the original PDF file, it does not show up when I open the PDF file through powerpoint.

Therefore, I assume the embedded PDF file is a separate file and is different from the original PDF file.

The question is how to syn these changes and keep them together?

Thanks for your help.
Instead of dragging the PDF, try to Insert:Object then choose 'Create From File' and make sure the 'Link' checkbox is checked.

I don't think this works on a Mac, I don't see any option to link to the file, but it should work on a PC.
