Command Tab Screen

Command Tab Screen

I am used to using Alt Tab in Windows to quickly switch between multiple window screens i have opened ( Multitasking :-) ). The similar key combination and feature is also present in Mac.

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. :-)
