Preview application in mac Leopard does lots of things ( eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ) . One of the thing it does is reading PDF files without having to install Adobe reader for Mac. I prefer using Preview for opening PDF files than Adobe reader because preview is quick and i feel it light as well. But today i found one limitation of Preview as a PDF reader though there may be many more preview cant do which Adobe’s PDF reader can do.
The limitation is in Preview if you have a multiple paged PDF document open and try to select a Large text . You cant just do it. Try it. By Large text here i mean that text extending in multiple pages say text in more than 1 pages or so. Preview can only select the text which is currently being displayed. You try to select the text with mouse and go down the page in the document Preview wont Scroll down as expected to select more text. Even without using mouse and instead using Shift+Arrow key combination the Preview wont let the PDF document scroll and you cant select text in the area not currently shown in front of you. This is so irritating. I had to download Adobe reader just to select the texts in the PDF document i was reading. 
But one alternative trick to do this in Preview itself is by Zooming out. I could zoom out the document to contain more than 1 pages or the all the pages ( you wont be able to see what text you are selecting tough .. text become so tiny ) and select using Mouse our Shift+arrow key shortcut. But this is not the perfect way to because you cant read the text you are selecting they become very small.

Hi dude, today I visited your Macphobia, found it quite interesting and the flamboyant.
The theme, font and the color combination make it more appealing to eyes.
Great.. keep it up…

This is how to select text on more than one page in Preview.app:
1. Using your mouse, select the first word of the passage of text you’d like to select.
2. Scroll to the page that contains the last word of the passage you want selected (zooming in or out is not required).
3. Hold the Shift button, then click the mouse pointer at the end of the final word of the passage you’d like selected.
This sort of selecting is ubiquitous across the OS, and most native apps.
That’s all
I hope this small tip helps ease your transition to Mac OS,
