Why would Google not index all submitted pages?
Did you submit a nested xml sitemap? What you could do is segment your sitemaps based on categories then you could see if there are: no index tags, robots.txt blocking a section or maybe those pages are too deep. For now I would check to see if anything has a no index tag and review your robots.txt file. Hope that helps some.

How Can I Redirect an Old Domain to Our New Domain in .htaccess?

Duplicate content: using the robots meta tag in conjunction with the canonical tag?
Hey there, Try to avoid using both canonical and noindex, it is not advised (source: https://www.seroundtable.com/noindex-canonical-google-18274.html). If you are using canonical on the subdomain it should be more than enough to deindex the subdomain version (if in any way it gets indexed) and resolve the duplicate content issue. Greetings, Keszi

Does link replacement has affect on gaining backlink in good way?
Howdy. Yes, it can strengthen and yes, google will notice. At least eventually. Now, it's not clear which link you are talking about - inbound or outbound. But anyway, the answer is the same, just the "amount" of benefits will be different. Hope this helps

A PDF with a good quality external link could affect the authority of that domain?
Thanks for the answer Greg. The key is that the PDF would be added and linked by users and not by us. If we develope a specific feature in a client online service we might earn some quality backlinks for their domain but only to an isolated PDFs.

JSON-LD meta data: Do you have any rules/recommendations for using BlogPosting vs Article?
Yes, getting the meta data to be perfect is my goal. Not interestingly only about half the competitors sites have done it anywhere near approaching well. Perhaps correct implementation of schema.org is given more priority in some sectors rather than others? Andy
