You Tiger's preview was on the verge of being among the worlds truly great and well thought out software! HIYA

I found the combination of a PDF file, Tiger's preview, and a table of contents in the sidebar to be the best documenation viewer on the planet. Unfortunately Snow Leopord's preview broke my toy. But the worst thing is the sidebar itself - the text is doomed to being "you have to lean forward to read this" small and even at that the sidebar can't be made wide enough to hold the widest of my TOC lines. Replacing part (or even all) of the current window with the sidebar would be an improvement but I'd really rather have the old preview. Is there buried configuration information that addresses the new Preview personality? Is there a way to get Tiger's preview to run in Snow Leopard? HELP HIYA

I use preview only for viewing documents. I found the combination of a PDF file, Tiger’s preview, and a table of contents in the sidebar to be the best documenation viewer on the planet. Unfortunately Snow Leopord’s preview broke my toy.

Is there buried configuration information that addresses the new Preview personality? Is there a way to get Tiger’s preview to run in Snow Leopard?

HELP

I have the same problem with preview on Snow Leopard. Works fine for opening pdfs etc but itwont open some (many) images (almost all jpegs that I've tried). If anyone has seen this and figured it out please let me know the solution! Thanks! To nancy O and RRinjapan.

I can print them and turn them into .pdfs, I can edit them and do all sorts of things ... I just can't see them ... I've spent over an hour trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong ... but nothing seems to change ...

When you're dragging pages from one PDF's sidebar to another in Preview, try dropping the pages on top of an existing page rather than above or below it. Preview groups document pages together in 10.6 and dropping a page above or below will just start a new document in the same window. I hope this helps. Tom,

When multiple PDF pages are opened in the same window on Preview, they can no longer be saved as a single PDF, but are kept as separate, inviolate PDF documents. This looks like a sop to Adobe to me... Please let me know if I missed something! You seem to have missed that Preview can no longer build and dissect pdf documents, at least on my Mac.
