Gary from MacMost.com explains how to use the PDF annotation tools in Mac Preview. While Preview is great for viewing PDFs, you can also use Markup Tools to add annotations without changing the actual document. If you need to make content changes, go back to the original source document and export a new PDF. But for marking up documents, adding notes, editors notes, or filling in text, Preview is a useful tool. Join MacMost's Patreon campaign for exclusive content and course discounts.
