Adobe Reader is a PDF viewing app for Mac OS X. It allows you to open PDF files, browse them and print them.
Adobe Reader is a very capable PDF reader. When I first launched it, it asked me if I wanted to set it as the default PDF reader. I appreciated that the app asked about it and didn't change the setting without my approval. When I launched a PDF file I noticed that the app was very fast, certainly faster than its Windows counterpart ever used to be for me. The usual features were all there. You can highlight text, add comments and share them, find text within a PDF file, zoom in or out, enter the full-screen mode and fit a full page in this view, etc. Browsing a PDF file was quite fast.
This is, of course, a free tool and it works well. There couldn't be any harm in trying it out.
Pros
- Compatibility with different printer models
- Quick view options
- Advanced browsing
- Good sharing options
- Highlighting and comments support
Cons
- Lack of additional conversion options
This Adobe Reader is quite simply full of technical bugs and is very slow.
As I have to deal a lot with PDF files, I use this software all the time. It is limited somewhat, but it works nicely. The application is easy to handle.
This application is limited in what it can do, but if you work only with PDF files this program will be enough for you.
