I would highly recommend that you use SAFARI to download or export or print the PDF. Some recent comments have mentioned that the Export option doesn't work for them or it's too much effort because they download many files a day. Update - It seems like this thread is still alive and helping people out. I am not too sure about the technical details, but the workaround was that you should EXPORT the downloaded PDF as a new PDF using Preview. Apparently, the issue is linked to how Preview handles certain PDFs based on the file format. While I was searching for such a solution, I did come across a potential tweak for people facing this issue. Last month, I ended up buying a MacBook Air M1 and I haven't faced similar annotation issues since, but I have also been annotating a lot less recently. I moved over to a Thinkpad, but couldn't tolerate the shitty PDF software available. My MacBook Pro was within the 14-day return window, so I ended up taking it back to Apple for a full refund. A few things have happened since I made this thread. Update - This old thread seems to have come alive again, with people asking me for an update. Is anyone else struggling with this issue as well? Sometimes it will save the highlights in the first go itself. If I repeat the process again, Preview will happily save the highlights and annotations. I lost 4 hours of detailed work on a PDF this way. In a completely random manner, Preview will sometimes not save some of the highlights or some of the annotations. I open the file.do my stuff.click Command + S to save.close the file.and move one. I use Preview to read, highlight and annotate my files. I have all my PDF's managed by Zotero and saved on my hard-disk. This has to exist! Every single person in my company uses preview for this purpose.I have a Macbook Pro 2020 (purchased two weeks ago). I have CutePDF which I believe can do this but bonus points if it works within the app by itself, and can compress it in some way so I can send it over gmail. I want to be able to open them in an app, see all of the pages in a thumbnail view on the side, be able to pick and choose which ones I want to keep, and then I want to rearrange them according to how I need them. Some of these files will be jpegs, some will be PDF. So they'll send me their tax returns, bank statements, paystubs, etc.

I'm a real estate agent and I need to put files together for people to get them approved. This is super simple in Preview, but I haven't found anything for windows that is as easy and intuitive.

What I need to do is open a bunch of different files in a preview mode, be able to move pages around and delete pages I don't want, and then export to a PDF.
