Ok as I went through my app folder I found that I magically had Adobe Reader 7 installed. I don't know how it got there but none the less I need all the space I can get. Do I need it? I thought Preview was perfect for PDF files. Anyways, maybe it does something that Preview doesn't and I am just missing something. Thanks.
 
I don't find Preview to be all that good but Adobe (Acrobat) Reader is a bit heavy duty. The one thing that it can do that Preview can't is that it will display 3D images.
 
...and if the PDF is created in Acrobat Pro 7 and the creator has flicked the right switches, you can edit the PDF within Reader. I think you can also submit PDF forms without running it from within a web-browser...
 
Well hmmm... I guess Ill keep it. I got rid of some other things so I am fine for now. Thanks for the responses.
