Doesn't work on MacBook Pro - Version: 1.4, 8/9/2006 01:19PM 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.

...this is a very "lite" alternative to the Adobe product and Apple's Preview. I recommend it for previewing small PDF files, but if you are doing professional work or viewing multipage files, then I use Preview or, better yet, Acrobat Reader 5. The text rendering in PDFViewer isn't as nice as in Acrobat, but if previewing a file quickly is the issue, then looks don't really matter. Now if only Apple could provide better Help for and/or keyboard shortcuts for
