    Great review. Quick question, inserting circles and boxes, how do you adjust the width of the marking? What I mean is when I go to insert a circle, my Preview is defaulting to a really thick circle that I can edit in size, but the blackness of the circle is really fat.

      There is also a section with 3 lines of different lengths with a pull down arrow. That is the line thickness selector.

    Cool! Now, after doing that, if I have a document with multiple pages of partial text, can I "squeeze" the text back together, ie get rid of the white space? Think high school yearbook editing (40 years ago) with paper and scissors, I would cut out the blanks and tape it back together before "copying" it or photographing it. I guess I could copy/paste all the good stuff into a new document but is there a better way? Thanks.

      I'm not aware of an easy way to do what you are asking unless you copy and paste.

    Hello, great vid. The only think, the pdf I'm creating in print action is losing quality, like and scale issue. Do you have any idea to fix that?

      Try turning up the resolution in the export to png window. The only time I have ever noticed a drop in quality was from too low a resolution. Try 300 maybe.

      Try saving first and see. If that fails try printing to a separate PDF first

    Thanks for the vid!! Please tell me how you CUT OUT (DELETE) parts of the pdf? I don't mean "crop" (therefore keeping the pdf's selected part/s in place, and removing/deleting everything else OUTSIDE the document selection); I mean the OPPOSITE! So, to select parts of pages that you want gone, then remove THESE SELECTED PARTS (and keep everything else OUTSIDE the document selection in place!!). And once you've removed these selected pages (or page parts), the pdf's content that comes after the selected/removed part to snap back to the position right after the content that preceded the selected/deleted part! *So not to leave a blank area! You know, just like would happen if you were deleting a selection in a Word document! Can't this (simple) thing be done in pdfs?

      First export to PNG file, then highlight and delete that section like in the video, then "Print to PDF" which will male a PDF. You will not see the blank sections you deleted, it will just look white when printed back to a PDF.
