Do I need Adobe Acrobat reader?

Probably not.

Apple's Preview.app (included as part of the base OS) is a perfectly good PDF display app.

There may be some esoteric PDF features that you use such as PDF forms or digital signatures, but if you don't use these then Preview is generally a better option.

I did not know that preview allowed us to use pdf like adobe did….? Can we fill out online forms with preview…? I was trying to fill out a form online and it told me I needed adobe to complete form.

I understand that adobe player will no longer be compatible but should I keep adobe reader?

Thanks so much in advance. and how do I know when I get a response on here. I’m new to commenting and replying. 😊

Hey thanks for the info.

Ok so I downloaded the Adobe reader and just filled our a form in preview and saw that I really do not need it. Oops.

ok so I’m deleting it and there are a lot of Adobe files on my computer, do I drag all of those to the trash too?

Yes Preview works awesome!!! You can even sign your name in two different kind of ways. I love it, it’s easy and awesome.

when filling in the blanks “make sure you click on the MARKUP icon so you can type in the blanks. You’ll have to drag the box to the line and click on “text” the delete that word then type whatever you need to.

There also is a signature icon..., you can sign on your trackpad or you can click on “Aa” then chose a signature font and then click the “text” icon again and type/sign your name.

COOL AS ADOBE PDF!!! I LOVE IT AND VERY USER FRIENDLY!

Then you can save the doc to your document file!! Whooo Hooo! :-)

hope this helps ya out.

You can do digital signatures on preview.

Go to markup then “Aa” and choose and signature font the type your name

in cursive from that particular font. You will have to change it back for print font and vise verse. It works pretty awesome.

Just so you know. Idk if you saw my reply’s below.

If the pdf form allows filling in text fields you can do it with Preview. When you post a topic you will get an email whenever someone replies. Must make sure this button is listed as following:
