preview does a really good job. it can be a little slow but its just  
the same as using adobe on windows lol

I'm reading service manuals and product spec sheets with the best  
possible screen reader around and wow I love this to bits.

one manual I'm reading contains over 340 pages and it hasnt crashed  
lol and its  containing a heck of a lot of content.
