PDFViewer ReviewDynamic updating - Version: 1.4, 6/6/2009 08:10AM PST

This is the first pdf viewer that I found that will update its view of a document automatically if I regenerate it. Unfortunately, it doesn't remember that setting, though it does remember other facts about the document, so if I start a new session of editing, I have to tell PDFViewer that "Auto": update your display whenever the document changes.

Other than that, lovely app. Does all it needs to, and none of the superfluous crap that bogs down the Adobe viewer.

PDFViewer CommentaryDoesn't work on MacBook Pro - Version: 1.4, 8/9/2006 01:19PM PST

I've been using this product for years, and it's wonderful. Unfortunately, it no longer works on my new MacBook Pro. It would be wonderful if there was a universal binary of this.

PDFViewer ReviewThanks for a fast free alternative to Preview! - Version: 1.4, 10/13/2003 01:46PM PST

I have been looking for a program like this for a *long* time. Apple never got their act together with their "Preview" application - it sucks. Takes way too long to open files, trys to make previews of every page in the file (no way to turn this off by default, you have to close the drawer EVERY TIME), and it never opens things to a reasonable size by default, so you always have to resize.

Adobe Acrobat reader works fine once you have it open, but it's kind of a beast - large and takes a long time to launch.

PDFViewer 1.4 is much nicer. ;-) It opens things to a nice viewing size by default, doensn't waste time creating previews, and is damn fast.

My only suggestion so far would be to allow the user to click and drag the on the image like you can do with most other PDF viewers. Thanks for writing such a nice simple application which really serves a need of the Mac community.
