I use the generic Mac graphics viewer called Preview that comes as a
part of OS X on several different Macs and I'm not aware of issues
with pdfs viewed in that program versus pdfs created with Acrobat. I
routinely get pdfs created by the usual MS office apps as well as
pdfs created from a variety of CAD programs such as AutoCad and
assorted Windows based pdfs creators including Acrobat and none to my
knowledge create issues for the Mac. I also routinely import pdfs
into the Vectorworks CAD program without problems.
What exactly does " cannot be coherently viewed " mean in your experience ?

Subject: PDF files in a Macintosh environment
I do not know if this is a Macintosh issue, or if it applies to
other platforms. There are some PDF files, seemingly created using
Adobe Acrobat, that cannot be coherently viewed using a PDF reader
other than Acrobat. Why is this? Is this condition avoidable by
the creator of said PDF files?
