New Features

Overview

Panther’s built-in PDF viewer, Preview, delivers outstanding performance. Faster to launch, faster to scroll, you’ll spend more time viewing, working with and printing your PDF files. Preview lets you be as productive as possible when working with PDF files on Panther.

Searching

Indexed text search
Type in a word or phrase and Preview instantly returns the results in an easy-to-use list that shows you each occurrence of the search terms within a contextual phrase, organized by page. Click on one of the results and Preview whisks you to that page and highlights the term.

PDF text copy
You can easily select text within a PDF document and copy it to the Clipboard. Select a single word or paragraphs at a time. Even though some documents make contiguous text selection a challenge, Preview lets you drag to create a selection, even jumping across gaps.

View FAX documents, too
Preview helps make the new built-in faxing feature the seamless experience you expect from Macintosh. When you open an incoming fax, Preview renders it as a PDF, enhancing resolution and quality for improved legibility.

PDF Document

More capabilities
URL support in Preview makes short work of navigating long documents and enables you to distribute multiple documents that are linked together and linking to content on the Internet. Double-click to open any PostScript or EPS file, and Preview will convert the file to PDF, enabling you to print EPS or PostScript files.
