Preview (software)
From Free net encyclopedia
Preview is Mac OS X's application for displaying images and Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. Like OS X itself, it comes from NeXT's OPENSTEP operating system.
Preview will open and export most image file formats, as well as PDF and PostScript. It includes a slideshow mode for full-screen viewing.
Preview employs Apple's implementation of Adobe's PDF specification, and heavily uses Apple's Cocoa graphical user interface, Quartz graphics layer, and QuickTime image codec.
