A PDF, or Portable Document Format, is a proprietary publishing format developed by Adobe. According to PC Magazine, this format has become widely used to share documents over the Internet. You may want to be able to write in a PDF file in order share editing comments with someone. Mac computers come with a document viewer called Preview. To add a new PDF you can just drag it from the Finder onto this sidebar. To remove a page from the PDF, click on the thumbnail of the page to select it and then press the delete key. If you want to extract text from a PDF on your Mac, then one easy-as-pie way to go about it is to use TextEdit as a go-between. Because you can paste plain text into that program, it makes such tasks a snap! Melissa Holt's going to go over the whole process for us.
