Applications :: Ultra Fast PDF Reader?
Oct 2, 2010
I've got a PDF of a large map that's 23MB, 150" x 130". I cut out segments as needed using the select tool in Preview, copying and pasting it to a new document, which I save as a PNG. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. The trouble is, Preview chokes on it. Zooming is slow, and it takes 15 seconds to copy a selection, and another 15 to paste it into a new image. I've made 5 individual maps so far in this session, and Preview is using 1.44GB of RAM. Is there another tool that would be faster for cutting up a large PDF? It has to stay a PDF in the large form, because it has searchable text I use to find the region needed.

I'm running osx 10.6.4 and Adobe Reader is giving me fits. It doesn't play well. How do I change the default PDF reader from Adobe to Preview or iArchiver? Adobe Reader just grabs hold of the download and won't let go.

I was looking for a Safari Reader-like add-on for Firefox and finally stumbled on Firefox Reader, which seems to have more customizations, and options. Has anyone else tried it? What are your impressions?

I just tried NetNewsWire, and Vienna, NNW is nice but Google Reader has a great feature that these both are without.
In GReader, when I mouse over or scroll down it marks that one article as read. No pushing buttons, clicking next, nothing. Just read.
I want to be able to pre-download all of my current unread items, AND the pictures. Gears for GReader does NOT download the pictures. I have a lot of picture only feeds, like lolcats, that I would like to let build up for a week and then on my long plane ride home, check out.
In NNW I can smash the space bar and get this accomplished, but I'd rather just scroll through, or at least have the option to.
I don't really like the look of Vienna, it's too unpolished, NNW is a tad better and has better options for like the prefs.
It would also be interesting to be able to give specific instructions, or adjust certain settings on a per-feed basis. Such as filter out cartain keywords (Without using a service such as feedrinse).
I hat vienna because once I click on a feed, it marks everything as read. That's bad for me as I sometimes just open a mega feed and read one or two items. I have maby 20 or 30 feeds, but usually get 2-300 new items a day. Most are junk like Joystick, but I like to sit down and go through the important ones while im taking a break or eating lol.
I know you can't but it'd be interesting to allow some feeds to auto queue an embedded movie, let me view it offline (or off my VPN.

Can the Mac mini with 4GB of RAM run VMFusion 2.02 with Windows XP Home properly without any problems? Is 2.0GHz fast enough, or even 2.26GHz fast enough for VMFusion? Does the Mac mini have enough horse power to run Windows XP?

This is more a hardware related questions, OS X doesn't play a big role:
I have the chance to buy a Sun Ultra 40 for about 600$ (2x2.4 Opteron, 8 GB RAM, 500GB SATA HDD, Raid Controller, 8800 GTS) or for 1600$ a MacPro (2008 model, 2x2.66 DualCore Xeon, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD).
It'll be my private machine which I use for private software development (WPF/Silverlight) (so I'm not in an environment where even the time for compiling is money which can be saved :-)). Also I don't use it for playing games or similar.

I have around 10 RSS feeds, and have NewsFire set to update every 5 minutes, and it didn't seem to want to update all the RSS feeds. So I just cut it back to like every 30 minutes, and it still doesn't seem like it updates. Like it'll alert me with one update in about 2 hours, and then when I manually update it, like 20 things pop up!
I checked each site and they are all updating on the same time slot, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Is just 10 RSS feeds too many? That would seem weird to me...

Is there such a thing? I know you can open them in TextEdit but the formatting is a little messed up most of the time, same with Notepad in Windows. Once I switched to DAMN NFO (Windows NFO reader), formatting was great.

Been using NewsRack on my iPhone and iPad and really would like to find one for my MacBook Pro. I want something that works well and looks decent, but my main request is one that supports google reader syncing. MacUpdate search is down or i'd just go hunting for one myself.

Using Firefox but it annoys me in the bookmark management and freezing up too often. Safari is faster but no way to help the toolbar color for visually impaired. Is there another good, fast browser available?

I'm getting a MacPro and a Dell ultra sharp monitor and it looks like they will be arriving at the same time. My question is this: Will I be able to connect the monitor to the computer with, hopefully, the supplied cables in the box, or will I need to buy a cable to make the connection.

I'm selling my old MacBook and the guy buying it wants to know about the optical drive: ultra and speed. I don't know where to find info about this. I've looked in the system profiler and can't find anything. Honestly I don't even know what it is! Where can I find out info about the optical drive: ultra and speed?

My mom has an iBook that I told her I would fix for her and I can't really find any. Newegg has one and out of three reviews, two people say it is crap.
I ordered just a ATA drive on accident and didn't look at the drive before I started taking apart the computer so now I have this thing spread out across my floor. I hate these olders macs. Ugh! 50 screws just to get to the hard drive.

I read a lot of blogs for my business for research such as marketing tips, product releases new, etc. I've always tried to figure out the best way to keep up with the multiple sites and either just browse the sites or use services such as Twitter or Email Newsletters I've talked to PC users and many of them suggested using RSS Feeds and I recently got Pulse for both my iPad and iPhone and it's been wonderful. I like the design and how it works but the only problem is a limit of 20 feeds. This covers many of the feeds but not quite all that I want to subscribe to.
What is a good option for using on the Mac? For web browsing I use Firefox, Safari, and Chrome and for email Thunderbird. If I'm correct these offer options for RSS feeds. How do these compare to other feed readers for the Mac. Are web based/cloud versions better? I"ve heard of options such as Google Reader.

A family member of mine needs Adobe Reader 7 (because they have an old iMac that can't be upgraded to Tiger) and I can't find it anywhere, not on the Adobe site or [URL}. Does anyone know where I can get it?
(PS- the reason they need it is because Preview somehow got deleted and they don't have the OS X install disks.)

Is there any function or app out there that will enable me to follow posts? For example, a question that i may have asked a year ago but want to continue following up on in case there is a reply? I have about 20 threads on this forum bookmarked and would like an easier way to keep up with them. I've only seen the availability to check a main page or subforum..but it seems like there should be something else available.

I know, there are many if I google it.
I tried, iChm, not too bad, but the search function is not working, everytime I tried to search something, the beach ball will appear and whole thing will shut down.
I have tried xchm...doesn't work as well. chmox doesn't do well too. Chmosx is just horrible.

I am about to move from my maxed out iMac to a 8-core Mac Pro and was looking for some advice from those who have experience with webcams and Leopard OS. I have been researching and found references to USB video class (UVC) and through digging and some links from Wikipedia it "appears" the Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision and Ultra Vision SE should be support, but does anyone on here actually have on and can comment on compatibility?

I just got my first Mac last week and I love it to death except for one thing. I can only get D/L speeds of about .7 - 1mbps wirelessly on my Linksys N router but my PC gets the full "advertised speed" (about 5.8) on wireless. This is very annoying and I have no idea what it could be. I don't really know what it does but I did some research and some people in other places recommended clearing the cache and I did. Nothing works, no reboots, no unpluggs, nothing.
