Articles from Free PDF to Word BlogTop 2 Preview Alternatives for Mac OS X Lion2012-02-08 09:02:19 admin

Preview is the default PDF reader in Mac OS X Lion. With it, you can not only view PDF, but alsoannotate PDF by adding arrow, oval rectangle, note, text, link, etc. and highlight, strike through, underlinePDF text. However, for some reasons, like it is not powerful enough for you to handle PDF, you mightneed an alternative with better user interface and perfect features. Here, I’d like to share with you twoPreview alternatives for Mac OS X Lion: Skim and Wondershare PDF Editor Pro for Mac.

Skim is regarded as the number one Preview alternative for Mac OS X. Like Preview, Skim is a totally freePDF reader for Mac. Though Skim is an open source app, upgrade versions have been released to matchthe latest Mac OS X operating systems. What more important is that Skim works perfectly. It has a veryfriendly user interface. It displays all the annotation tools on the interface. Whenever you need to addcomment, just select the tool and go ahead. No need to go to the ribbon. Besides, Skim enables you torotate PDF, crop a PDF page, add and edit bookmark.

The features of Skim are more or less like that of Preview. I prefer Skim is that it is really more easier tooperate at.

If both Skim and Preview cannot help you manage PDF conveniently and effectively, you should tryanother Preview alternative, Wondershare PDF Editor Pro for Mac. It combines PDF viewing, editing,annotating and converting into one. Because of the built-in OCR technology, Wondershare PDF EditorPro for Mac is also able to edit and convert scanned PDF to MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, text andmore. After you download and install the almighty PDF Editor, viewing, editing and convering PDF is nolonger a problem for you.
