The software to use for this is Adobe Reader. If you don’t have it it’s free to download. Then you add comments in the pdf. This works well across different operating systems.
You’ll have to explore how to add comments or proofreading marks.
If that’s too complicated why not print it out, mark up and scan or send photos of the printed pages?
It’s a bit late now, but it’s always better to discuss and test software compatibility first.
And, yes, this is part of how I earn my living.
Don’t be tempted to use Preview.
Hope this helps.

I did the proofreading in Pages because it seemed easier to do than in the pdf. When I sent it to her, she said she can’t open it and asked if I can I send it in Word. I don’t own Word and have never used it. She used to be on a Mac so I figured she still was and could open Pages.
Is there a way I can get it into Word?

Re: Sync'ing Music FROM iPhone TO iMac
So, you are only using iCloud, with an Apple Music subscription, to sync your Music files, and not the Files app?

Re: Sync'ing Music FROM iPhone TO iMac
In the OP Donna said " I do not know why, but his iPhone has 600+ different songs. Some are MP4 from old CDs purchased long ago. Some are digital Amazon, some are digital from the Apple iTunes store. SUPPOSEDLY all devices are sync’ed via iCloud. “
Unless I missed it, we don’t know which ones are *not* on the Mac, i.e., are they all from a single source?
As for iCloud, I don’t see an option for that for Music on my MB Pro 2012 (10.15.7) and iPhone Xs (17.5.1).

Re: Sync'ing Music FROM iPhone TO iMac
The iPhone 8 can run iOS 16, so OS should be recent enough to be compatible.
Verify that all the devices have syncing with the same iCloud account.
If that does not do it call Apple Support.

Siri is not a medical historian
I’ve been fairly impressed with the way Siri answers random questions about famous people and other random topics, but just last night, while watching an interesting, although sometimes SO FAR OFF from reality streamed medical drama (7 seasons) about an Autism Spectrum Disorder adolescent who becomes a successful and celebrated surgeon in San Jose, CA, I had need to ask Siri the following:
“Is anyone still living on an Iron Lung?”
Siri’s response? “Sorry, I couldn’t get your Apple TV’s status.
The response is bizarre, but it seems to me it reflects something about my configuration rather than something amiss with Madam Siri’s AI creds.
Any thoughts?

Curious return of delete spam from 2015
About once a week I check the Junk folders for various email accounts.
I just deleted about 60 pieces of junk from 2015 and a 3 or 4 emails from list members. No quantity was shown on the folder and they appeared after I opened the folder. Most were from a very persistent spammer back in 2015, but I haven’t heard from in years.
And clues as to why these reappeared?

I had a lovely one that was given to me as a freebie, which unceremoniously died (made by Robot in Indonesia). I used to have a Mophie case that had a battery in it, which was especially good as my phone aged: you could control when it used the battery, and it all used just one cable to charge.
