Today, Gary from MacMost.com addresses the popular question of how to edit a PDF on a Mac. He explains that the best way to edit a PDF is to edit the source document rather than the PDF itself. While you can highlight, annotate, export, and rearrange pages in Preview, you cannot edit the content of the PDF document. Instead, you can make changes that fall under the realm of Markup.
