Accidentally Deleted Preview.App?!

So when I opened a PDF the other day it opened in ColorSync. ColorSync is not Preview. This is a problem. Pictures don't open in it either. I looked in my applications folder, and Preview was missing. I got out my Leopard disk to reinstall it, but it is not listed under the Applications part of the Optional Installs on the disk. I even made a new user account to see if Preview was on the dock, and sure enough there was a huge question mark where it should have been (the mouseover said Preview). How do I reinstall Preview without a complete reinstall of osx?

You could perhaps use 'Pacifist'. To extract it from the installer package.

I dont know why Apple doesnt provide an easier way to install the included applications, or have them available separately for download. It's not like there's any other OS to run them on than OS X, and there are many folks who inadvertently delete the apps. Here's my Preview app that I zipped up and put on my iDisk. Download and unzip it and hopefully it will work.

Thanks!
Ever since upgrading to Leopard (OS X 10.5) I have not been able to open Preview. I tried pulling it off of my laptop with the same OS but that would not work. Your zip file did the trick. Thanks again!

I just had my Preview app disappear too. Not sure why; it was there yesterday. The only thing I can think of is a software update last night, post iTunes 8.0 & iPod Touch 2.1. They were big, but last night's update was just a little, un-identified 'update'.
Anyway, thankyou for your zip copy of Preview: thanks to you, I'm back in action as well.
