Preview is “free” since it’s built into the Mac OS – you get it with any Mac you buy. I leave Preview as my default PDF viewer because it’s fast and performs admirably when I simply need to open and read a PDF. I choose to leave Preview as my default PDF viewer, even though I have both PDFpen and Adobe Acrobat on my system. That means out of the box, your Mac will open Preview when you double-click a PDF file. It’s the default viewer for image files such as JPG or TIFF, as well as PDFs. It’s fast, functional and free, and it was designed by Apple to work within the Mac OS. Preview is truly a hidden gem that’s built into Mac OS X. So 90% of the time, I’m opening PDFs in Preview, the excellent image viewer that’s built into Mac OS X. This may seem like a silly question, but PDFs are indispensable to the practice of law so this is an important consideration.Īs I wrote in my review of Adobe Acrobat 9 for Law.com, PDF has become the lingua franca of legal documents – it is the standard for electronic filing, scanned documents, digital signatures, form distribution and much more. This means lawyers and legal professionals have to open and read a LOT of PDF files every day.Ībout 90% of the time, all we need to do is open and read a PDF – we don’t need to highlight or annotate anything, create bookmarks, or do anything else except just read the content.
