Hi all.

I've ben trying all day to get various programs to work well reading PDFs  on 
the Mac and have gotten no where fast. The programs I've tried are Adobe reader 
10, Stanza, Skim, Preview, Safari, and Text Edit. These each have bugs that 
either make the  document unreadable or difficult to read, or get hung up. Skim 
completely freezes when I reach the end of a page and forces me to close it 
out, which is unacceptable. Stanza does weird things with the spacing and makes 
the information incomprehensible. Safari doesn't let me interact with  the text 
properly  and insists on taking me to the very first page no matter what part 
of the file is visible when I try to interact with the text. Adobe is 
completely inaccessible. Text Edit just renders the file as garbage characters. 
Preview doesn't track my location properly when I read by line, so if I have to 
start reading by character, I'm completely lost there too. I don't wish to pay 
for a pdf to text converter because I don't have fond memories of such 
converters and I don't want to view the information as text. Is there a program 
out there for the Mac that reads PDF files, doesn't hang up or have quirky and 
distracting problems tracking the cursor, etc.? So far my experience with 
viewing pdf files on the Mac has been unhappy and worthy of 1 star. It's quite 
discouraging. I really, really don't want to have to read all my Objective C 
stuff on Windows machines. I'm at my wit's end with this and quite disappointed 
so far.
