PDF Viewer
PDF Viewer is a Mac app for opening, reading, searching, annotating, and signing PDF documents in everyday document workflows.
What is PDF Viewer?
PDF Viewer is a document productivity app for Mac focused on reading, reviewing, and marking up PDF files. It helps users open PDFs from Finder, search within documents, and add common annotations such as highlights, notes, drawings, and text markups while reviewing files. The app also supports filling forms and adding signatures, which makes it useful for contracts, school materials, reports, and shared business documents. For people who work with scanned pages or visual references, it can also annotate image files in a similar workflow. PDF Viewer is published by PSPDFKit and is designed for users who want more PDF review and annotation tools than a basic viewer provides.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate PDF document app for viewing and editing files. Access to your documents is normal for its purpose, and any annotations, signatures, or form edits you make can change the saved file, so it is wise to keep backups of important originals before heavy editing. If you use cloud-stored PDFs, review the app’s sharing and sync behavior the same way you would with any document tool.
Recommendation: Keep PDF Viewer if you use it to read, annotate, sign, or fill PDF documents on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app like other Mac applications, but you may want to export or keep any important edited documents first.
