Re: How to read pdf or if there is a app
Hi Tom, The application Preview is always available on mac OS; you will find it in your applications folder and most likely on your dock if you press control + F3 key or control + option + letter D, and then start typing preview, you should land on it. Press enter and it will open. It is also a default application that will open if you receive a pdf file and open it.

Re: How to read pdf or if there is a app
Ah, the wonderful world of "should!" Preview does pretty well on PDF that embeds postscript fonts, imo. It does not do so well on graphical images of text characters, and it does not directly offer the option to OCR those files. It's important to know there is this fundamental difference in the kind of content that comes wrapped up as PDF. In other words, the thing that PDF is could be defined as a wrapper or an envelope into which other content is stuffed.
