A PDF editor is a software tool that allows you to make changes to a PDF document. These changes can include editing text, adding or removing images, highlighting content, filling out forms, signing documents, and more. On a Mac, the Preview application is a simple and easy-to-use option for editing PDFs. However, there are other options available, such as online and third-party PDF editors that can offer additional features and functionality depending on your specific needs.

How to Edit Text in PDF on Mac (Free Solution Included)

Preview is a program that comes pre-installed on your Mac that can open and edit PDFs. It’s about as full-featured as any other PDF editor, except that it can’t edit pre-existing text. However, it has the added benefit of not requiring you to install anything extra to use it: just open the PDF and start editing right away.

It would be logical to think that the Edit menu is what you use to find all of Preview's PDF editing tools, but that's not the case. Instead, this menu is for deleting pages from the PDF and inserting pages from other PDFs (or creating blank pages).

Preview also lets you rearrange pages in the PDF by dragging them up or down from the sidebar. That means you can make the second page the first page, or the last page the second, etc. If you don't see the sidebar in Preview, you can enable it from the View menu.
