In this video the MacWhisperer continues his lessons about Apple's Preview program.

Preview is a powerful program that comes pre-installed on every Mac, and is the default program for opening JPEG's in PDFs… But it can do so much more.

By using the side bar on the left to rearrange, delete or add pages…

By using the markup tools to edit, highlight, redact, or add arrows, shapes and graphics…

Or most importantly by using the signature tool to easily and simply digitally sign any PDF document on your Mac.

Dylan walks through the ins and outs of using preview with PDFs, And explains how to really get the most out of this powerful and free program.
