I'd just like to say that the built-in PDF viewer on Mac OS X still sucks. It's buggy, not responsive, and seems to render on the fly. Hardly usable.
Could you please get to fixing this? -

Yes please, otherwise compatibility with good reader or iannotate would be great.

A preview would be nice to be able to quickly scroll through your documents

I miss being able to highlight when having the PDF in full screen and rotated. I like having the pdf rotated so that I can read it like on an iPad, but then I can't highlight nor make notes. If the pdf is rotated so that you have to turn your laptop 90 degrees in would be nice if the program could detect that and enable highlighting and adding notes.

The scrolling issues are being looked into; as for not using OSX's built-in PDF functionality, we needed a solution that works on Windows, Linux, and OSX.

Don't sneer at the pdf reader. There are those of us on platforms where we don't have free pdf editors, and being able to annotate (and in the future sync those annotations) is a thing that makes us wet our pants.

On OSX, the PDF display has issues with scrolling. After scrolling a page or so, the text becomes pixelated and garbled. I have to click back on the page to make the program refresh.
Why not just use OSX's built in PDF functionality?

We are expecting to include a PDF viewer including highlighting and annotation support in the next release.

Especially annotation would be cool!

Please do not add too many features like this one. Your in-built pdf reader will not add any functionality that improves upon my chosen reader, and adding many features like this will make your program large and bloated.

I'd like a word plugin that allowed me to highlight and annotate documents and share those annotations with others. I'd also like to be able to highlight and say, see this document [link/docid/etc] for another take on this subject.

We're working on introducing both a full viewer (still integrated with Mendeley Desktop), and also some form of preview for quick browsing.

A nice feature would be to display a quick view that pops up after you hover over a reference for a certain period of time (or by a certain key command or click).

I too would favor a bit a built-in PDF viewer over a "full-screen" option, because it would give the possibility to browse easily through a pdf collection

I'm not absolutely sure this has to be a "full-screen" option. An built-in PDF viewer would be great.

We're considering the best way to implement this in a cross-platform manner.
