Go to MacMost.com/patreon. There you can read more about the Patreon Campaign. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts. Preview on your Mac is a great tool for viewing PDF documents. But you could also use Markup Tools in there to add annotations to a PDF. This is different than actually changing a PDF.
