5 power tools in Preview
Open a PDF? Sure. But with Preview you can do far more, from automated slideshows to scribbling all over a document
Sidebar speediness 1
Choose View > Show Sidebar to see a pane of page thumbnails for your document. That menu also contains options to switch to a table of contents, highlights and notes, bookmarks, or a contact sheet of thumbnails.
Add highlights 3
For basic edits to a PDF, use the Highlight button in the toolbar. Select some text, click the button’s downward arrow, and choose a color – or use strikethrough to flag something for deletion. Remember to save!
Change your view 2
Preview uses a continuous scrolling view of single pages by default. If you’ve opened a comic or magazine, View > Two Pages is better for a wide screen. Feel like reading slowly in an automated fashion? Try View > Slideshow.
Make major edits 4
You can’t directly make more drastic changes in Preview, but you can pick View > Show Markup Toolbar and use its tools to add shapes, free-form sketches, sticky notes, text boxes, and signatures.
