Learning how to annotate a PDF on Mac is extremely important and useful because PDF becomes one of the most widely used formats welcomed by many people.
We can annotate the PDF files with the built-in Preview on Mac if we only want to make a few simple annotations. But, as we all know, Preview is more of a PDF reader than a PDF annotator.If we need to annotate our PDF files often and much, Preview’s simple annotation function may not meet our requirement. Is there any better tool to add annotations to PDF files? Absolutely yes!
