Sorry, I've lost track of the original question about PDF apps, but before jumping to conclusions about Preview I'd advise people to use it a while first to make sure they're not missing out on something. Preview is a GREAT reader for PDF's, especially long docs like manuals. The search feature is better and faster than even a pre-indexed document in Acrobat (any version). I set all pdf documents to open automatically in Preview; if I need to use Acrobat or Acrobat Reader for some reason it is very easy to do so-- control-click for contextual menus gives you the option to choose which app to open the doc with. --Anna G4 MDD, 1.25 dual, 1.5G RAM, OS X.3.5 -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
