Hi,
Navigating line by line, word by word and even character by character is
totally doable in Preview. As long as you Interact with the text area, all
this is possible. It works the same as in most things like TextEdit and Pages,

Just to be clear ,what happens is that Nisus Writer Pro opens the PDF
document and automatically renders it into rtf assuming there is text
encoded into the PDF and it is not graphics based. This means that as
far as I am aware the vast majority of formatting options in the

Editing PDF files is very interesting to me just as a hobby. I've always
been curious how PDF files are edited. I tried so called PDF editors for
both Windows and Mac. They both present them in inaccessible ways so no
editing is possible. Hope this Nisus Writer Pro changes things. I can

Yeah, going to try tis as well, if it's within my budget range or I can
get it from the App Store then I may even buy it over Pages which I also
bought a while back.

had all week.
I frankly find Preview totally worthless unless you just want to hear
your file as a data dump. I usually need to read more carefully and
don't want to just hear a text string with no ability to start and
stop, spe
I believe that Nisus Writer Pro is available from Mac-update and also the App
Store.

Hi,
thanks for your response. I am asking because I want the choice. Where did you
get this program and how much was it?

Personally I have junked Preview in favour of reading PDF with Nisus Writer
Pro. This appears to read fine to me so far and of course has the advantage of
making the PDF editable.
I realise this is not a free option but worth considering if you happen to have
Nisus already.

Preview has a lot of limitations especially for college students with advance
PDF files. I could never get preview to do anything I want such as doing
searches for phrases, not to mention there is way to create bookmarks or
anything. Completely useless for academic articles.

This is a brand-new MacBook Air with no Adobe Reader history. Downloaded the
latest version two days ago.

Hi,
Preview works very well for me. In fact, it's pretty well what I use for pdf's
all the time and have for years. With respect to your Adobe issue, I'm
wondering if you've installed an old version of Adobe some time in the past.
If so, the older versions of Adobe sometimes mess with Safari
I've had minimal success with it. Sometimes, it reads whole documents. Other
times, it doesn't, and no matter what I do, I cannot get it to move from page
to page, and I've never tried to do any of the other things you mentioned, Mary.

Within the security tab in Safari, I found configure web settings, and the only

I must be missing something with respect to the preview app. I have never had
good luck with that thing. I have not been able to navigate, read words or
lines or's spell something. And tables? Forget it. What am I missing? I would
love to be able to do PDFs on my Mac. Of course, Docuscan will do
I never downloaded it. Just read it on-line. I'll have to check the
Safari settings.

Hi,
Depending on your settings within Safari, pdf's are either opened within the
Safari browser or they need to be downloaded first then opened with your
preferred pdf reader. I expect that when you downloaded the pdf, then
subsequently opened it, the file was opened with the Preview app, not
I'm a bit confused here. The other day, preview did not open to read a pdf form
on-line. I had to download Adobe Reader to access it.
Then it read just fine.
Does one have to save it first?

Hi,
No, Adobe Reader is not accessible with VO at all. As Ray mentioned, the
built-in Preview app will handle pdf's just fine other than finding edit fields
in editable pdf's. Often web-sites claim that you need Adobe Reader to read
their pdf's, but this is a misleading statement as there are
Don't need it. Preview will read pdf's just fine. And, if you ever need to do
OcR on a pdf, Abby fine reader.
