    Preview stopped showing embedded photos for PDF

    I can't seem to figure out how to show the embedded pdf photos when I open a pdf? Preview used to work fine, but something must have happened. Attached is an image, on the left is the pdf opened using Acrobat Reader and on the right is the same PDF in Preview. Help! http://imgur.com/a/kk0rS

    Hey, I have tons of pdfs on my iCloud account as I find it useful to read scientific articles on my iPad.

    Preview Fillable Form Font Size

    macOS Merge two Automator PDF scripts?

    I have two scripts that I use for manipulating PDFs, and I'd like to merge them into a single one. However, I struggle to get the output from the first command to act as input for the second. Script one simply flattens the PDF with Ghostscript and modifies the file extension to differentiate...

For example: a book has 10 pages of introduction so I want it to start reading from the 11th on... is it possible WITHOUT manually selecting all the...
