Adobe Reader does not come with Mac's anymore. It used to but that was many years ago. Mac's come with Preview.app, located in your Applications folder. There is also a pdf view in Safari's web browser that allows you to view the pdf as a web page. If you still feel the need to use Adobe Readed, I believe it is a free donwload from Adobe.

Thanks Glynn If I understand you when I get a Pdf file by e-mail or want to open one in say a travel web site its preview that is allowing me to do this . If I go to a web site like the one my daughter was on and need to download a form i may need adobe acrobat reader if the site was designed that way . If i download reader will it interfer with preview working
