No fix.


Preview use to be a powerful editor, not so much any more, over the years seems to get more in more gutted, I suspect to make it more manageable across platforms.


You can review the user guide—

Preview User Guide - Apple Support




However my best advise, use an a true PDF editor and not Preview.app


some examples to name a few:

Adobe Acrobat Reader

PDFpen

pdfEXpert
