I am looking for a tabbed PDF reader, preferably with annotation support (highlighting mostly) for Mac OS X. I looked at the Skim FAQ which said that tabs would never come to Skim.

I am currently writing where I need to have multiple PDFs open for reference (at the moment 17). This is a lot of windows which clutters upp my Exposé.

Does anybody know if such a PDF reader exists for Mac OS X?

I have had a look at Adobe Acrobat Reader, Skim, Preview.app, PDF Pen.

I found Dioretsa which has tabs, but no sadly no annotation.

Update 2015-11-20: Funny how history repeats itself. PDF Expert recently released a Mac version (Readdle's PDF Expert for iOS has been around for some time). The pase years I have been using Preview, but PDF Expert is now my goto PDF reader with tabs and annotation. It's fast as well (which cannot be said about Adobe's PDF products).

Update 2012-05-16: Saving annotations in the PDF itself is also a must. E.g. Skim and Mendeley do not do this. Otherwise, Mendeley would have been a good choice.

Two years later, I may have found something. There is now an app on the Mac App Store called PDF Reader X. It's free, has tabs and supports annotation!

Clearview Reader from Canoe Software looks really promising. I liked their free app, PDFNut, which also supports tabbed browsing, bookmarks, and annotations. Clearview Reader has more features and for the very reasonable price of $7 I'm more than happy to support the developers.

It's certainly not the primary function of the program, but what about Safari? It displays and renders PDFs. It doesn't handle annotations natively, but there are Safari extensions like Coda Notes that add the ability to annotate.

Alternately, your web browserof choice could be used similarly.

Admittedly, this isn't quite ideal, but…

Preview.app has a kind of tab-like behavior in the sidebar when you open multiple PDFs simultaneously, either by dragging them all to to the icon at once, opening multiple files using shift in the open dialog, or by dragging additional PDFs into the sidebar of an already open document.

Once opened this way, you can switch between documents with option-page up/down, which maintains your position in each document.

Mac's own Preview actually works really well when working with multiple documents. I would even say that it's better than the tabbed approach (I tried both MightPDF and PDFNut) as I would often work with 15 or so PDFs all opened, resulting in tabs that no longer display any coherent information. The thumbnail on the side approach of Preview allows me to scroll through and easily locate the document I want.

Also, any annotations made will stick if you go to the print menu then on the bottom left corner, change to 'Save as PDF…'

You should look at 'Mendeley' which is primarily a Dropbox for the scientific Community. The Mendeley Desktop Application has an integrated PDF-Viewer which supports PDF-Display in Tabs, Text-Highlites and Notes. In the Screenshot you see two PDF's open in the Tabs and i have highlighted some Text at random.

You can configure Preview to open all files in the same window. Then you move between them with the keyboard (ALT+UP, ALT+DOWN). If you use the 'content table' view for the sidebar it's the same as tabs but displayed in a vertical row.

Check out Scrivener, the writing program. It doesn't use a 'tab' metaphor, but it supports PDFs and several other document formats, and is quite good at displaying lots of documents and windows of information simultaneously and enabling you to switch around between them and reorder them while you are writing. It uses its own metaphors for organizing documents, patterned after flash cards and cork boards. You should try it out.

In some respects I miss the good old days, the era back when magazines and books were made of paper, the way God intended (unless he really, really wanted us to use stones; if so, he let this paper thing get out of hand).

These days we have more ways to read than ever. Arguably, the most popular eBook reader app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users is Apple’s own iBooks, but there are alternatives. Here’s a quick look at one of the best because it supports more eBook formats, and manages books and documents better. It’s just missing one feature.

iBooks Because iCan

The benefit of using iBooks on a Mac is obvious. It has a built-in store. It syncs (every now and again) with iBooks on iPhone and iPad. It has some basic book management features. It handles ePubs and PDFs, too. What’s not to like? iBooks is free with every Apple computer; Mac, iPhone, iPad.

Clearview is an eBook reader you can download from the Mac App Store. In the face of free competition from Apple, this app needs a few features you won’t find on iBooks to justify the price tag.

Clearview For Mac

Can you say ‘Tabs?’

Tabs on the Mac’s Finder were a digital godsend. Tabs in an eBook reader is the result of humans following God’s lead. That means you can manage eBooks and documents (perfect for PDFs and ePubs) in one tab and view other categories in another and read a file in another.

Clearview Reader

Clearview has a Library shelf, and handles every eBook file format I’ve run into from PDF to EPUB, from CHM to MOBI. Search is built in. So are bookmarks and annotation tools.

Clearview App For Mac

Navigating Clearview is much like navigating the Mac’s Finder. Drag and drop books or folders of eBooks from the Finder into Clearview. Make reading lists, create collections, and navigate using a Cover Flow-like interface.

Nov 29, 2013  PowerPoint Viewer is still available for the Windows OS -- Only the Mac version was discontinued. Among other hits on the web: Download PowerPoint Viewer 2007 from Official Microsoft. Please mark HELPFUL or ANSWERED as appropriate to.

The built-in Shelf lets you view your book collections as thumbnails, lists, detailed list, or the aforementioned Cover Flow-like view. The tabbed view means you can have multiple books open at the same time and freely move back and forth, annotating as needed.

The Clearview interface is about as simple and elegant as you can get. Tabs and tools across the top, scrolling on the right, and that’s about it.

Every eBook format in Clearview supports bookmarks and annotations. Any revisions are saved on copies, not the original book files. There’s even an option for creating notes and comments, along with the typical annotations for highlight, underline, and others.

Sweet, right?

Not only is Clearview affordable, it does just enough to make it a good alternative to iBooks. With one caveat. iBooks has DRM books (the kind you buy from the iBooks Store and can’t use on other devices). Clearview won’t read those DRM (digital rights management) books but it handles much of everything else with ease.
