Preview doesn't save blank pages with text

The app Preview can't save my pdf.

When I try to add a new page (blank) and some new text inside, it will automatically be deleted when I close the app, even if I saved the file.

What can I do?

MacBook Pro Retina

Boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and check again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
