[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1938541, member: 190607"] My pleasure, Ken! People don't often realize how powerful Preview is. Apple hides a lot of its functionality, I suspect so that the app doesn't seem too intimidating. Preview allows you to: a) highlight (in any color), strike through or underline text b) encircle anything on the page with a lasso of any shape, size or color c) add marginal notes (in a side column) of any length, anywhere in the document d) add new text in any font, any color, any size, anywhere in the document where there is space e) individual pages can be dragged out of or into the document or deleted from the document f) convert to a PostScript file which can be edited and re-converted to PDF g) add and edit hyperlinks in a PDF file h) combine multiple PDF's The only things that you cannot do to a PDF in Preview is move, alter or delete any existing marks on the page whatsoever. It's possible to [partially] get around that by putting a white box over anything you want to erase, saving and closing the PDF, and then re-opening it. But that is a pain. If you want to edit a PDF, you really need a true PDF editor, not Preview. Preview User Guide (free) [URL code="true"]https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/welcome/mac[/URL] [/QUOTE]
