Click View→Highlights and Notes. This will expand a drawer on the left
side of the program window.
3.
Highlight some text that you'd like to serve as a bookmark within a page.
You'll see that this instantly adds an entry to the drawer on the left, named
after the text you've highlighted.
4.
Highlight more text that you want to bookmark elsewhere in the PDF.
Again, you'll see that it's added to the drawer on the left. Clicking any
entry in the drawer will take you straight to that highlight. Effectively,
you've created a series of bookmarks.
5.
When you've finished highlighting, don't forget to save the file (File→Save)
complete with your highlights. In the future, to see the annotated book-
marks when you open the file, again select the View→Highlights and Notes
option.

Manually Manage Software Updates
Approximately every few months, Apple updates OS X with a point release.
This is usually several hundred megabytes in size, and if you have more than
one Mac in the house, downloading the updates for each computer can put
significant strain on your Internet connection.
The command-line
SOFTWAREUPDATE
tool can help. This gives much more control
over the updating procedure compared to using the Mac App Store for updates,
and it allows you to download the update packages before manually installing
them. This way, you can download the updates and transfer them to other
computers using a USB memory stick.
Viewing and Installing Updates
Open a Terminal window and begin by listing what downloads are available,
as follows (typing your login password when prompted):
SUDO SOFTWAREUPDATE -L
