Free pdf rendition software for mac

PDF Document Inspector is a browser of a PDF documents contents. If youre not doing something pretty down-and-dirty with PDF, I cant imagine how it would be useful to you. On the other hand, if you are working with the innermost bits of a PDF file (like I was with Cheap Impostor), I cant think of any other tool out there that would help you figure out whats going wrong.

I wrote PDF Document Inspector as a part of developing my shareware application, Cheap Impostor. PDF Document Inspector is merely a wrapper over the PJX library I used to parse the input documents in Cheap Impostor. I found it invaluable for debugging, and I thought it might be useful to the community at large.
