Annotate PDF on Mac without Preview

I think that many people have the habit of taking notes while reading books. It is easy to do that when we read a real book. But how about reading e-book, like a PDF on your computer? You might say, you are able to do that with the Mac-attached app, Preview. Yes, it offers the annotate feature. But some people who do not like Preview might wonder whether there are other tools or not.  In fact, there are alternatives to annotate PDF on Mac OS X. Here I am going to introduce a cool Mac PDF Annotator.

Choose a PDF Annotator: Pro or Lite?
No matter how, first of all, you should choose a PDF annotator for Mac. And Adobe Acrobat is a good choice since it is omnipotent in PDF world. But it costs so much. And as far as I see, you do not need that a powerful one.

For me, I would say, I want it rather than need it. It's like making you choice between an encyclopedia and a mini-dictionary. In real life, we need the latter. Here I'd like to recommend AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac. It offers me everything I need.

Don't look down upon AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac. Its annotate features meet your requirements. You can:
 

• Markup Text by Highlighting, Underlining, and Striking through text
• Add Notes using Sticky Note and Text Box
• Or Add Shapes using Arrow, Line, Rectangle, Oval, Polygon, Cloud, Pencil, and Eraser
  Believe me. If you just use Acrobat to annotate PDF like these, you can also use AnyBizSoft PDF Editor for Mac to make that.

  To Markup Text, choose Select Tool (black arrow-like button in the Toolbar), select text you want to mark, and click Tools->Annotate, and choose one in the top three options (Highlight, Underline, Strikethrough) according to your needs.

Use different shapes and tools for different purposes. This makes your notes more vivid and interesting.
