The most popular document viewer on Mac OS X

Preview is Mac OS X's application for displaying images and Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. Like OS X itself, it comes from NeXT's OPENSTEP operating system. Preview employs Apple's implementation of Adobe's PDF specification, and heavily uses Apple's Cocoa graphical user interface, Quartz graphics layer, and QuickTime image codec. Edit

    The best file viewer on any platform. Makes me annoyed any time I'm on Windows, quite frankly.

    Awesome application for viewing images and PDF files. Also great for making small tweaks to images and saving them as different formats.

    I don't have Adobe reader on my machine for a reason. It's slow and bloated. Preview is best at making quick crops to images and viewing PDFs.

    The best preview app! Every time I use it I discover something new, from just viewing pictures and pdfs to organizing and merging pdf documents, commenting, cropping pictures and playing slideshows.
