Dr. Mac (Bob Levitus) wrote an article appearing in the Houston Chronicle called In Leopard, Preview is a superstar. In it he demonstrates the wonderful advantages of Preview in working with PDFs.
Preview is installed with Mac OS X (Free!), but many don’t realize how useful it is. You can view almost any kind of graphic in Preview, more quickly and easily than almost any other way. Not counting QuickLook (Leopard only) of course.
Another thing most of us don’t realize is that Preview views PDF files, again, more quickly than Adobe Reader in many cases. In OS X 10.5 it has become a big deal, though.
You can customize your toolbar with things like the Annotate and Mark Up icons. Markup provides a drop-down menu with tools for highlight, strike-through and underlining text. Annotate’s drop-down tools add colored ovals, rectangles, lines, notes and hyperlinks to PDFs.
You can reorder pages, capture, display and save a picture of all or part of what’s on you screen, any time.
Open and edit most graphic files (TIFF, JPEG, GIF and PSD and more) with lts of built-in tools.
All in all, Preview in Leopard is a vastly improved, understated tool.
