Best PDF Reader for Mac OS X

PDFConvert doesn't integrate PDF reader in it. To view PDF file, you need a PDF reader software such as Preview or Adobe Reader.

Best Choice: Preview

Preview makes it easy to read Portable Document Files (PDFs) and open popular image files including JPEG, TIFF, and PNG.

Preview is the default application on Mac OS X to open PDF files. To view a PDF file, double-click it to open it in Preview, or drag the PDF file's icon to the Preview icon in your Dock. Preview lets you do more than just view PDFs. You can zoom in or out, bookmark pages, add notes or highlighting, copy text, fill out forms, and more.

Features:

• View PDF files in full screen.
• Magnify a specific portion of a PDF document.
• Take a picture of your handwritten signature, and add it to PDF documents that require your signature.
• Zoom in or out, bookmark pages, add notes or highlighting, copy text, fill out forms, and more.

Optional: Adobe Reader for Mac OS X
