Talk:Preview (macOS)

message: To Sam999, and all of his aliases, sock puppets and anon IP addresses. This is an ENCYCLOPEDIA. It's not a sopabox for airing your grievances against Apple or whoever - those who are reverting you are doing so to preserve the integrity of the article, and only that. As far as I can tell there is no "agenda" - I certainly don't have one, whereas you most ceratinly do, and it has no place here. If you feel you have a grievance against Apple, then take it up with them, get a lawyer, whatever. If you want to publicise this then this is not a channel which will do so effectively - why not contact your local newspaper? Even if your changes here ever stuck, do you honestly think that this will achieve anything? And of course your changes won't stick, because everyone here can recognise something inappropriate to an ENCYCLOPEDIA when they see it, and that is why you're being continually reverted. Give it up, and find a better channel. Whatever you think, this is not a conspiracy against you, we are simply writing an ENCYCLOPEDIA. Get over it. And incidentally, I am not user:curps, we are two different users (among numerous others) who just happen to both find your edits inappropriate. If you think this is a conspiracy, then you're wrong - but if you STILL think that, then you're probably suffering from paranoid delusions, and should probably seek professional help for that.

thread_title: Stupid Edit War

message: :Image:Leopard Preview.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Leopard Preview.png

message: I don't know why this wasn't mentioned, since I saw on this discussions page, but Preview is an example of a lightweight application. Anyone who has used both Preview and Adobe Reader will attest to the very significant difference in performance, though it is true that Preview has fewer features.
I have never seen such a fast, lightweight PDF reader on Windows, though I have heard that they exist. Since this article is about OS X, I didn't think that I was worth researching that.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.238.4 (talk) 05:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Performance

message: OS X 10.5 came out in 2007, and we've had 4 new OS releases since then, and the interface has changed, so I was wondering if I could upload a new screenshot? I'd release it under the creative commons, and I'd replicate the current screenshots displayed image (Preview's icon) with the same amount of zoom and everything, what does everyone else think of this?

message: Is it worth mentioning that Preview won’t open PDFs with 256-bit AES passwords? As documented by me on ArsTechnica. JDAWiseman (talk) 11:42, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Preview won’t open PDFs with 256-bit AES passwords 

message: From the discussion here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/940804 and own experience.
Acrobat 9 and older versions paste images as a stamp/comment which (that poorly functional) Preview cannot see.
Suggestion is to "flatten" the page if you want to see a pasted picture in Preview.
