Here are some of our questions...
1) Do you recommend staying with the Apple software that opens .pdfs or getting the Adobe .pdf software for macs?
2) I am a huge snagger of graphics off the Internet (for family newsletters, school projects, etc. Can I do this safely on the imac?
3) Are there any genealogy folks here who use macs? Does the free LDS Personal Ancestral File software work on an imac? How do you transfer data from the Windows version to one on a mac?
Thank you much :)
Re: questions
#1: PDFs: the Mac uses Display PDF to draw all of the screens. Therefore PDF file format is natively supported on the Mac. Anything you can print can also be saved as a PDF file from the print menu. PDFs open in either Safari or in Preview and display perfectly.
#2: Graphics. Yes. You simply drag and drop any graphic you see on the Internet to your desk top or to another application. You can do the same with almost any file type.
#3: LDS Geneology software. I don’t know. However you could install Parallels and run it under Windows if it doesn’t. I will try to find out for you.
