    Sonoma field/font glitch in PDF forms; how do I fix this?

    It's possible this started in Ventura, but I'm not sure since I don't have a Mac with it installed. I regularly need to fill out a PDF form in Preview. It worked just fine on my iMac--an old model that couldn't be updated past Monterey. I bought a Mac Mini with Sonoma installed, and now that...

    iPhone Document Scan not Spotlight Searchable

    Just started to use my iPhone (15+) to scan documents (using the Scan Documents option in Files), save to iCloud and then open on my MacMini. It seemed to work really well. However, I have found that .pdf contents are not searchable by Spotlight when I do this. If I open Preview and then scan...

    I’ve had loads of problems with Word creating PDFs. Basically, whatever I have done, it fails during the PDF creation process under macOS.

    Mac Ventura 13.6.1 saving documents to PDF uses as name always untitled. I am using Venture 13.6.1. In the past when I saved a Word (v16.78) document to PDF it would always use the name of the document, now it uses ‘Untitled’. Does anybody else have this? Any solutions as it is mega annoying...

    Airdrop sends PDFs to Files app

    If I use airdrop to send a PDF from one device (iPhone or iPad) to another, when I select Accept I no longer can select which app should receive the file. PDF files automatically get sent to iCloud Drive. Airdrop did not behave this way in iOS 16. Is there any fix for this behavior?

    Sonoma changed Preview default save location to folder "printing.22832.3" which I can't find nor change as the default

    I do a lot of work in my office annotating and attaching signatures to faxes as PDFs in Preview. I'd long ago set the Downloads folder as my default for saving as that fit my workflow well. Now Preview saves edited pdfs into Printing.22832.3 that I can't even find in Finder. When I remember...

    "Create PDF" as individual files versus a combined file

    Hey everyone, I've posted this question on Reddit, but didn't get any response. I've found the "Create PDF" from the Quick Actions menu in the finder to be incredibly useful. However, it seems like the only option it offers is a combined PDF. So if I say, selected multiple images, it would...
