Mac PDF Reader - 3 Free OS X PDF Viewers

Adobe Reader isn’t only for Windows. It is also freely available for Mac. Still, if for some reason you don’t like it just like most Windows users feel, there are PDF reader alternatives that you can also download and use for free. One of the alternatives is Skim, which is known as the first free PDF reader for Mac released in April 2007. It lets you view your PDF document, search, scan, and zoom through PDFs, and many more.

Some of the features this pdf reader has are the ability to add and edit notes, highlight text, create snapshot, navigate using thumbnails or table of contents, read document in full screen, internal link preview, export notes as text, automatic download of remote PDFs, etc. There are so many things inside the application to be mentioned here one by one.

Preview - another Macintosh PDF reader

Mac OS X has a pdf reader called as Preview that, in addition to basic PDF features, also brings in some advanced features that you’ll probably find in commercial PDF applications like the ability to encrypt PDF to restrict the usage of the document.

Additionally, Preview can also be used to convert between image formats if you’re interested to do so. The image formats supported for conversion include BMP, JP2, JPEG, SGI, PICT, PNGm and TIFFs.
