Re: upgrades- Preview
Jeff Bequette [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did Preview ever get an upgrade? Adobe is on 8.1.3 but preview is only 3.0.9, and is noticeably worse on pdf's.

It's part of OS X so it's not upgradeable individually, you need to get the latest version of OS X to get the latest version of Preview. Also I much prefer Preview to Adobe (which is on version 9, btw) which is a bloated, slow mass of crud. There are some things that Adobe reader does better, like handling Adobe's esoteric extensions to the pdf standard, like forms and such. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Hmmm . . . . wonder if Preview v4.1 will run under OS 10.4.11?

I would not like to bet. A lot went on 'under the hood' between 10.4 and 10.5. I think Apple's mostly consistent interface and the mild differences in version numbering tends to hide the fact that the progression from 10.0 to 10.5 has been roughly the same magnitude as the progression from Windows 95 to Vista on the PC side -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
