Are you looking for PDF readers for Mac, so you can view and edit PDF files in Mac OS X? Though Mac is
a big hit in the market right now, and many PDF tools are developed for Mac OS X operating system, only
a few of them could be called as professional ones. Here in this article, we’re going to introduce top 3 PDF
readers for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
Preview. Preview is the default PDF reader or you can say viewer on Mac. Developed by Apple and on
the concept of simplicity, Preview is an easy, but user-friendly PDF tool. You can combine PDF files,
delete unwanted PDF pages, and annotate PDF files on it with simple drag-n-drops or clicks.
Combine PDF files. Open two PDF files side by side, drag pages from one document’s sidebar to
the other’s.
Delete unwanted PDF pages. Highlight the PDF page you want to delete and click Delete to achieve
your goal.
Annotate PDF files. Go to Tools>Annotate, and then select the tool to annotate the PDF files.
Skim. Skim a free app for Mac OS X 10.7. Compared with Preview, it has more features. It is able to view
PDFs, add and edit notes, annotate PDF files, save passwords in Keychain, add bookmarks, crop PDF
pages and support for Apple Remote Control. It is said Skim could be the alternative of Preview.
2. Both Preview and Skim are free yet professional PDF readers for Mac OS X Lion. However, they are lack
of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality. Without the OCR functionality, it is impossible for
you to edit scanned PDF files. Ok, this is the reason why you need the third PDF reader—Wondershare
PDF Editor Pro.
Wondershare PDF Editor Pro is the top app for dealing with both native and scanned PDF files. With it,
you can read native and scanned PDF files, digitalize scanned PDFs, annotate PDF content and even
convert native/scanned PDFs to editable Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, text and more. I have
to say it is a comprehensive solution to PDF files. Once you download it for Mac OS X, handling PDF is
as easy as ABC.
