If you've ever been given a pdf file that you want to edit, or a pdf form that you need to complete and return electronically, you'll realise that it's not obvious how to edit a pdf file in OS X. You can make simple changes to a pdf file using the free built-in Preview App that comes free with OS X. Here's how.

If you double-click on any pdf file in OS X it will open in an application called Preview. Preview has a hidden 'Annotations Toolbar' that will allow you to edit the pdf file. You can't change what's already in the pdf document. But you can do minor changed like adding your own text and graphics, so this method will allow you to complete a form or make minor additions.

For full pdf editing capabilities (for example adding paragraphs of text, moving pictures around on a page etc) you need to get some fully blown pdf editing software like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Acrobat Professional. But these cost hundreds of dollars. The good news is that ‘Preview', the built-in OS X pdf reader app, has some basic pdf editing abilities built-in.

Here's how to use the Annotations Toolbar.

Go up to the View menu and select the menu item called ‘Show Annotations Toolbar. This will give you a toolbar along the bottom of your preview window to help you edit the pdf file.

If you highlight the newly added text you can change the font by pressing Apple-T and the font window will appear.

You can't delete what's already in a document, but you can draw a rectangle over it to hide it and type something new over the top.

You can cover over existing text using a rectangle with a white border like this.

You'll notice you can't change the rectangle color from being black, but you can put a very fat white border around it so it looks like a white rectangle!

Please note, this is more of a hack than a proper way to edit. The original information that you have edited will still be there. It is just covered over. If someone deletes the box they will see the original document.
