So Preview is an app that is part of the Operating System.
So, for instance, if I want to open up a PDF like this one I just double click on it and it opens up in Preview. If you've never installed Adobe Reader in fact it's the default app for opening up a PDF. It's pretty much as capable as Adobe Reader. It comes as part of the Operating System. But in fact you already have a tool on your Mac that can do this. I'm surprised at how many Mac users I come across think that they need Adobe Reader on their Mac to be able to view or fill-out PDF's. But chances are you don't need it at all. Download it and use it to view all your PDF's. It's a free app from Adobe and there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

Second punishment: by using Acrobat, you’re NOT using Apple’s built-in, elegant, powerful, joy-to-use Preview app. I wouldn’t make my dog use Acrobat Reader. Every version of Acrobat Reader is misery to use: slow to launch, clumsy to operate, thousands of indecipherable options in the Preferences dialog, and very “un-Mac-like.” First punishment: Adobe’s punishing your by making you use Acrobat Reader (or Acrobat Reader DC, or Acrobat Reader Pro DC, or maybe an older version of Acrobat Reader). If Acrobat Reader has taken over your PDFs you’re being doubly punished.
