I export a pdf as a pdf all the time ... You receive a non-editable pdf ... you use the textbox and signature tools in Preview.app to mark it up and sign it ..

  You… literally press save. Preview lets you save any annotations to PDFs and images it supports. It’s literally as easy as pressing Cmd-s. If you really want to save it as a different file, use Preview’s duplicate feature to save it as a new file. If you want to make the file you’re editing non-editable/flattened, then you can use macOS’s built in print dialog which lets you natively save to PDF. This isn’t a Preview feature per-we, but it is system wide. This seems to have not been possible before and changed in Big Sur: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252703055 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252703055 And Apple’s guide considers Save and Export to PDF to be the same function: https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/annotate-a-pdf-prvw11580/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/preview/annotate-a-pdf-prvw1...
