Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving for those on this side of the pond. I’m looking at an opinion article in the NY Times and wondering about the best way to add comments / annotate the text. Is there an app for that which runs on Mac OS? (IOS is no use to me, since I don’t use my cellphone for actual work.) Thanks!
How are you viewing it? If you’ve downloaded it as a PDF, there’s Skim, UPDF, or perhaps LiquidText.

I have used Skim for years as a pdf viewer, but haven’t thought it could do annotations/ markup.
Or if you are looking at a local PDF copy you could go hard-core and use macOS’s own Preview which has an annotate feature Tools > Annotate > … and then take your pick of how you want do attach the annotation.

I personally like to keep the exact look of a website and add my comments or change existing text. To do this, I download the page as a webarchive. I don’t know how this works technically. Devonthink does that, but maybe it works with another tool as well.
If I remember rightly—I haven’t used Skim for decades—the whole point was to be able to annotate PDFs, but the downside was that the annotations are not transferrable to other PDF readers—I think Skim creates a separate layer for them.
UPDF, I don’t know. It seems expensive to me, unless you have four devices that you want to run it on!
