How do you save a marked-up PDF with Preview?

Thanks to everyone. I think we've established this version of Preview has a bug, and I've filed a bug report.

Thanks, but this also did not work. The resulting saved file is just the original PDF without my added information.

To be clear, the original file has no fields at all; it's just a printed form that was scanned and converted to PDF.

Thank you, VikingOSX, for generously spending time on this.

I have tried saving and observing the file per your procedure, but so far no success in preserving my additions. Annotations do not show up in Quick Look either before or after the Save As. Opening the resulting file after Save As also gives me only the original PDF, sans my additions.

I am keeping the original file open in an attempt to keep from losing what I've already entered. So when using "Save As," I change the file name. But the new file does not have my additions. Once I also tried saving under the same name, replacing the original. But the result was the same.

The version of Preview is 10.0.

That sounded like a brilliant work-around, so I tried it immediately. Unfortunately, it did not work here.

I suspect this is a bug in Preview, because last year at this time I filled out the same form (using the same original PDF file), and there were no problems.

I don't know who scanned the original, so I don't know if it's grayscale or not, but I am adding only text in black, nothing in color.

A couple of things I have noticed, which might have some bearing on this matter.

1. When I start to enter the first annotation, I get a notice telling me that that the original cannot be changed, so a duplicate has been created. Perhaps that duplicate is what I need. However, I cannot locate a duplicate anywhere.

2. The Help file for Preview, in the section on annotations, says that when you are finished entering everything, "click Done." What is "Done"? I can't find a menu item called "Done," and can't find a "Done" button anywhere. Maybe clicking "Done" is what saves the annotations. Or maybe the Help file is just outdated.

I'm mystified.

Yes, it is strange. It's a very elegant solution, and I had high expectations it would work for me, too.

My notes do not show up in the print dialog's preview window.

The deadline for submitting the form was upon me, and so I finally installed Acrobat Reader, which worked fine.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the original PDF file, because Acrobat Reader had no problems, and I used it last year at this time with Preview, and also had no problems then. The process of elimination suggests that the current version of Preview is buggy.
