Gary from MacMost.com explains that you cannot directly edit a PDF document on your Mac using Preview. Instead, you can annotate, highlight, export, and rearrange pages in the PDF. However, editing the content of the document requires editing the source file. Preview allows for markup functionalities, but not direct content editing.
