Gary from MacMost.com explains how to utilize the PDF annotation tools in Mac Preview. Preview on a Mac allows you to view PDF documents and also add annotations using Markup Tools. It's important to note that annotations are different from actually changing the content of a PDF. To make changes to the content, you should go back to the original source document and create a new version. In Preview, you can add various annotations such as notes, editor's notes, or text to fill in blanks, making it a versatile tool for marking up documents.
