Hi, it's Gary from MacMost.com. In this video, he shares 12 things you can do with PDF files in the Mac Preview App. Preview can do more than just open PDFs. One key feature is the ability to click and fill in PDF forms directly in Preview, as long as the PDF is designed with interactive elements. By moving the cursor over these fields, you can see them change color and then type to fill them out. This feature is not always obvious, but it can be a helpful tool when working with PDFs.
