How to reedit annotations in Preview on Mac?

After PDF was annotated, saved and PDF closed I want to reopen PDF but I can not anymore edit it, can not select annotations, arrows. Any workaround?

Solution 1:

Once you save an image in Preview the changes you have made become part of the image - i.e. they can no longer be edited. However, Preview does store all previous saved versions of a file. To restore an image to a previously saved state (i.e. undo recent changes) choose File > Revert To > Browse All Versions. You can then scroll through all previous versions of the image file & choose one to restore. Best analogy of this functionality is the way Time Machine works.

Solution 2:

I am not really sure, but if you could at least open the file with Preview app, there might be an option to revert to previous version from the File menu.

Solution 3:

Annotate your images in Notes instead. Same set of tools as in Preview, but you can re-edit annotations to your heart's content.
