I usually use Preview to read and annotate pdf documents on my Macbook. I wish there was Preview for ios!

Is there any good way I can annotate pdf documents on my iphone and synch the files to my Macbook and use a program on my Macbook to annotate (and change the annotations on) the same files?

I know I am asking about iphone but I figure there are pdf readers that work on iphone and ipad but maybe no-one uses them much on iphone, so I am asking here!

Many thanks!

I do exactly this with PDF Expert and Dropbox. I can annotate documents on my iPad or iPhone. The changes are automatically saved in Dropbox. Once I am at my computer, I open the files with Preview and can see all annotations and edit them if I need to. Again, the changes are automatically saved in Dropbox. This workflow has been seamless for me for many years now.
