How do I uncrop a PDF in Preview?
I cropped a single page PDF to be able to print a portion of it, and now I'm having trouble seeing the whole page again when I reopen it in preview. Any suggestions?
I found a solution! Zoom out so you can have what would be the whole page in view. Use the selection tool to select an area at least as big as the original page. Recrop the image to the new selection, and voilà! The page will be back to the original size. Seems like it would be nice to have the option restore the page to the original dimensions somehow.

How do I crop a PDF with Preview.
How do I crop a PDF with Preview.
For some strange reason, when I crop a PDF using preview the rest of the PDF is still “their” when opened using other software.
I truly want to crop a PDF and have the uncropped portions completely go away. Do I really have to open Photoshop to do this?"there" not "their" - unless I am really confused about what you are doing !
I put a white rectangle over what I wanted to crop out of the pdf I was working on.
Not a proper solution, i then needed to use "export as PDF" of my PDF so that the next user of the document couldn't simply lift off the rectangle I had put on the document to cover what ideally I would have removed.
Add mark up is something else I tried, to black out the text that I wanted concealed, but we are limited to a slim choice of colours, not including black.
I would like to see a function "crop" with "crop inside" and "crop outside" options. I am not familiar with Adobe or other software. Presumably since they invented it, Adobe is the place to go if you have repeated exercises requiring meddling with Adobe documents. -
How do I email a pdf in Preview (ios 6)? I could do this in previous verions of Preview
Do you see the icon with the arrow in the toolbar in Preview? If so, click that and you should get an email option.
If you don't see that icon, right-click on the Toolbar, select Customize, and drag the icon into the toolbar.
If that doesn't help, or clicking "email" doesn't work, you might want to ask for further assistance in the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion forum.
Regards.

How do i change a pdf in preview to a word document in pages?
Does anyone know how i return to work on a word document within pages as i'm currently viewing it as a pdf in preview.
Preview does not have that capability. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for software that can do such a conversion.

Hi, all-
I've got Safari 6 and Mountain Lion, and I like being able to view .pdf files on the Web in Safari, for example, they open in a new tab. However, I also have a lot of .pdfs on my desktop. I want those to open in Preview. What happens now is that when I double-click one, Safari launches, and the .pdf opens there. Then I have to click on the "Open in Preview" button at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried changing the "Open with" selection (in a .pdf Info window) to Preview, and I've clicked the Change All button. But then, everything opens in Preview (I guess as you'd suspect). So, when I click a link to a .pdf on a Web site, instead of nicely opening in a new tab in Safari, it opens in Preview.
To make matters more complicated, when I have gone back and changed the "Open with" option to Safari, then everything opens in Safari, including when I click on the "Open in Preview" button. In other words, when I see a .pdf in Safari, and then I click "Open in Preview," all it does is it opens another tab in Safari and displays the file there. It's either all or nothing.
All I want to be able to do is have .pdfs that are on my desktop open in Preview, and .pdfs that are linked to Web sites open in Safari. Is there any way to do this?Please search the plugins page for the term "PDF". You should find this:
WebKit built-in PDF
MIME Type
Description
Extensions
application/pdf
Portable Document Format
pdf
If you find any other instances, post them. -
How do I edit a pdf in preview?
When I try to crop in preview, it removes everything but the area I selected. Can I crop just one area and leave the rest untouched? I'm editing a PDF by the way.

That's what crop means.
Can I crop just one area and leave the rest untouched?
See above. -
In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?
When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David
G4 Cube 1.8ghz/tiPowerbook 800 dvi/iMac (Intel) 20" Mac OS X (10.4.7)My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks! -

How to preserve original size when converting to PDF in Preview.
I'm using Preview in Snow Leopard.
Trying to create multipage PDFs from document scans.
I'm finding that when the scanned image (tiff, png, jpg) is converted to PDF in Preview the size reduces.
Selecting 'View actual size' shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality.
This does not always happen. I have some images that stay the same size and quality.
What factors cause this reduction in size in some images but not in others?
I'm not sure but this could be only images that have been scanned by me. If so, what do I need to do to prevent the problem?
These are not large images, just standard size pages.
I have all the preferences to view at 100%
This is not for printing, only for viewing on-screen.Please!!
I'm not silly...
As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
(There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.) -
How Do You Annotate a Graphic Such as your Signature in PDF Using Preview?
Hi. I'm filling out a form that needs a signature. How do you annotate your signature (as a graphic perhaps?) to the PDF using Preview. Thanks in advance.
Gbu.I'm not sure you can...try dragging & dropping an image onto the PDF. If that doesn't work, you'll have to use the Text tool. That's where Zapfino comes in.

When I open a pdf, it used to open in Preview. Now my iMac requires Adobe Reader, but I prefer Preview. How can I make my iMac open pdf in Preview again?
If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

How to disable the "autoload" of pdf in preview and url in Safari
I hate that new feature,
How can i disable the "resume" of pdf in preview and url in Safari on every time i restart those prg?Sorry Noel - create an extended desktop and open photoshop - create a file the same size as your second monitor and drag it over to the second screen. Press F to make it full screen and Ctl 1 to make it actual pixels. We now have just what we require for projection mapping onto say a building assuming the second monitor is a projector. Now take a brush and stamp it in the middle of your page - which is on the second monitor, photoshop itself is on your Ist monitor. If you press hold Shift down and stamp your brush at the edge of your full page you will see it jump too the side. It will also do this if you try to drag a selection too close to the edge. The page will begin to scroll to accomodate the selection which is perhaps useful in some circumstances but in others like to projection map it is a horror because we need the page to remain exactly where it is at all times or it will no longer be `registered` to the architecture previously done. Beleive me
this can be deeply frustrating when you are out in the cold trying to get all the facets of a building mapped, but even when in the warm trying to do it with a theatre set.
Should you have a solution then you would indeed become much revered in these parts - best wishes John --
