To turn any image you’ve found on the
web into a meme, right–click it in
Safari, and choose Copy Image. In
Preview, press Cmd+N to open the
copied image, then Cmd+Ctrl+T to
add a text box. Enter your witty
caption, and set the font and size
using the text options (’A’ icon) in the
Markup toolbar that appears at the
top; press Cmd+S+A to show or hidethis. For the classic meme style,
choose the Impact font, and size the
text as big as will fit across the image.
There’s no shadow or outline option,
so create the effect by Opt–dragging
the text to make a duplicate, setting
this to white and the original to black.
Use the cursor keys to nudge the text
boxes into position. Save your meme
with Cmd+S.COMPILE FILES INTO A PDF

the sidebar menu at top left, choose Show
Thumbnails. Use Edit > Insert > Page From File

than one. They appear in the sidebar, where you
can reorder them by dragging; select any page
not required, and press Backspace to remove it.
