In this MacMost tutorial, Gary discusses the PDF annotation tools available in Mac Preview. Preview allows users to view PDF documents and utilize Markup Tools to add annotations without changing the PDF itself. To make actual content changes to a PDF, users should refer back to the original source document (Pages, Word, InDesign) and export a new version as a PDF. Annotations can include notes, editor notes, and text additions for forms or signature purposes. Visit MacMost.com/patreon for exclusive content and course discounts.
