Today, Gary from MacMost.com explains how to edit a PDF on your Mac using Preview. Instead of editing a PDF directly, you edit the source document and make changes there. In Preview, you can highlight, annotate, export, and rearrange pages of a PDF, but you cannot edit the content itself. These actions fall under the realm of Markup.
