Can someone please tell me what is the best application to use to read PDF
files on the mac? Is there some way of reading image PDF files that come
from universities on the Mac. I'm asking these questions on behalf of a

for that matter. that does not mean it cannot be done, that just means that I
have bad luck.
I tried pdf pen with no joy and even copy and paste in to text edit and even

they are.

Hi Dónal,
I think this obnoxious behavior is due to the installation of an Internet
Plug-In for Safari that overrides the normal behavior of displaying with
Preview. Try going to Finder and deleting the ".plugin" file from your

There was a service I had called pdf to rtf that would open pdfs in text edit
and you could then save them as rtf files.
that's all I can tell you though.

Your iBooks library can include both ePub books and PDFs in its collections,

Skim is a freeware application, so you're unlikely to find it in the App Store.
Try a google search and, if you're still not successful, let me know and I'll
