Portable Document Format files (PDFs) are the de facto standard for disseminating documents over the Internet and throughout many corporations. This is due largely to their portability across multiple operating systems, their relatively small file sizes, and the availability of security options for sensitive information. Mountain Lion includes an application called Preview that can open, edit, and save PDFs (most of the graphics on your screen are created with PDF technology anyway). In this chapter, I show you how to work with PDF files using Preview.
