Hi Nicholas, at first: I'm using Preview in OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion and it's a catastrophy. I'm really experienced how to use programs on the Mac but I can't understand why some people in this list say it's good to use. I also discussed the issue with an Apple Senior Adviser and he confirmed all my issues in a phone call. We went through the issues step by step. I guess the satisfied users use Preview in Snow Leopard or Lion.
Here's what I criticize on Preview in Mountain Lion: When I interact with the text area and use VO + arrow up or down, right or left, the VO cursor jumps around in the text. It's especially obvious in the head area of a letter where you have the addresses. When I read a normal text line by line it works partially but at some point VO beginns to read ends of the former line once more and mixes lines completely. Not to speak about pdf files with a certain structure like columns or tables. It doesn't matter what view I use. I'm not sure wether this might be an issue of the german version of Preview but a lot of my friends also complain about that. They are as annoyed as I am. That's what I don't like about Preview.
