PDFView: A new PDF viewer for Mac users

It's not like there is a shortage on PDF support on MacOSX. First of all, you get a quite good PDF viewer with Preview.app bundled with MacOSX and there is also the Acrobat Reader series by Adobe ... although Acrobat Reader 8 is the slowest app I've ever seen.

I disagree about Adobe Reader 8. I think it's a nice interface improvement over previous versions of the app, and for me at least, it's a lot faster than Preview. Plus, when you open a PDF file, Adobe Reader allows you to actually see what it says the first time without zooming in!

I want a new reader for Linux. One that can actually print PDF's. I can print anything on my Kubuntu machine. Anything, except for PDF's. It's weird but it's true.

Not even with lpr from a terminal?

good question, I've been getting so used to GUI tools that I didn't even try that yet.

the only "problem" here is that this PDF is password-protected. I'll have to go through the manual of lpr to see how I can do that.

[HTML_REMOVED]lpr whatever.pdf[HTML_REMOVED]. If it doesn't work, there is probably simply a package missing :)
