Well first, Preview opens PDF files. But Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is available.

If you need to change original PDF text, then that requires an extra-cost PDF Editor. If you simply want to add annotations or enter content into forms, that can be done with Apple's included Preview, or optionally with the current Adobe Acrobat Reader. Some form designs are not supported by Preview, and your fallback would be the Adobe product as they alone are capable of maintaining current PDF code revisions.

I didn't even try with Preview, as I never knew I could add text/comments etc. using Preview. It also really clutters up the list of "recently opened" files. I don't need to change text at the moment, just add notes or comments. And I've needed to use DocuSign frequently in the past year, so I want to be able to do that.
