Open PDFs in QuickTime Player for faster viewing
Authored by: Tonex on Mar 25, '03 05:41:57PM

Wow, this is fantastic,

both Acrobat and Preview are as slow as melted tar on my G4 466, but this is lightning fast, faster than Safari.

You can use the left and right arrow keys to page backwards and forwards, and opt-left and right arrows will take you to the start and end of the PDF respectively.

Coolest, and perhaps most useless of all, the spacebar will 'play' your PDF. I suppose it could be useful for skimming through a very long document if you were looking for graphics, but it's a bit fast to see much of anything useful.

As far as display goes, all the PDF's I've tested look fine to me, AND I can view them in full screen with a nice black background. Super!
