Geoff and Others, Don't get the version from the Mac App Store which is a Skim rip-off, and an old version to boot. However, I'd say that this won't fix the Preview problems you're encountering. You might try reading in Stanza desktop, since that's a different interface. Oddly enough, PDFs read in Preview under Tiger just fine, very stably, and with none of the problems in column reading that Paul encountered. It's something Apple will have to fix in the underlying operating system. Skim has more options than Preview and has better stability of focus in some situations, but is using the same underlying structure as Preview. And when in doubt, just Google Skim at the MacUpdate site to find the link.
