[QUOTE="Demapples, post: 1560192, member: 199799"] So, when I switched to Apple from Windows I reflexly installed Adobe Reader, because that's what I had been doing for years. What a hassle it's been. Among other things, statements I downloaded from my bank would view on the screen OK but not print. So I was actually doing screenshots to print them. Then for the past couple of weeks PDF downloads had been freezing in Safari owing to an Adobe Reader function. Today I deleted Adobe Reader and took a good look at the built-in Preview app. What a dream. All those PDFs that would not download and/or print in Reader now work fine in Safari and Preview. And it seems to have a lot of excellent functionality. That got me looking around for a third party PDF app, but nothing impresses me more than Preview so far. I don't need to convert PDFs to other formats, and the software running in Apple's OSx does a great job of saving as PDF from a variety of apps. I don't need PDF editing ability either (lot of annotation functions). Anything else I should be considering? [/QUOTE]
