Hey all. I have to work with tons and tons of PDF files (usually scanned articles dozens of pages in length) on a regular basis, and I'm just fed up with Apple's cumbersome Preview app. Anyone suggest some good alternatives for it? An added bonus would some something that allows me to add my own annotations.

I've tried Abobe Reader. I found it to be buggy and resource-intensive, and it was a bitch to install. I was hoping someone had some better third-party suggestions.

Perhaps if you could explain what it is about Preview that you don't like?

For adding annotations, try PDFpen.
Regarding PDFview, does anyone know how to set it as the default viewer?

OK - I figured out how to change the default PDF view application.
Just go to any PDF file. Type Command + i. Then change the viewer to your pdf viewer of choice.

This is a handy app: RCDefaultApp.
RCDefaultApp is a Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers (or UTIs; MacOS 10.4 only).
