Need Solution for Apple Prevew.APP Lag Bug While Annotating PDF Documents

Since Ventura was released, a frequent bug will pop up while annotating PDF files in Preview. Attempting to move shapes or text boxes will result in an odd lag where the selected item (such as a text box) won't directly move to where you are dragging it. Instead it will slowly follow the path of your cursor and sort of float across the page. This bug makes annotation of PDF files in Preview a non-usable function.

I have reported the bug using the appropriate link, and I know the bug has been reported numerous times in the last 7 months. Many of us need to annotate hundreds of preview documents per day and we can no longer use Preview to do that.

Has anybody figured out the cause, or have a workaround or solution?

I would try a true PDF editor and compare your results.

Preview is a handy catchall app but it is not a dedicated PDF editor.

there are many, here are a few examples:

Acrobat Reader / Adobe Acrobat DC

PDFpen / Nitro

pdfExpert

Master PDF Editor
