.PDF files should automatically default to open with the application 'Preview'. Personally I highly recommend it over using the Adobe Reader product. If you have an OEM iMac, this program should install with your 'Installation DVD'.
As my iMac is at the Apple Store (thank you Apple Care, you have paid for yourself!) getting the display replaced, here is what I recall from memory (assuming you have Preview installed, but not set as your default program to view .pdf files):
How To Open Pdf Files Adobe Reader
. Open your scans in Acrobat Reader to fill in, sign, review, and share. FILL AND SIGN FORMS. Quickly fill out PDF forms by typing text into fields. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to e-sign any PDF document. STORE, ACCESS, AND PRINT FILES. Sign in to your free Adobe Document Cloud account to store and access files across devices. We’ll be using Smallpdf to get this done. Open the Smallpdf Merge PDF tool in your browser to get started. Here, you can select and drag in PDF files or click on the “Choose File” button to select PDF files from local storage. After selecting the files, click on the “Choose” button. The PDF files will now be uploaded to the website.

- Click Cancel to abort the attempt to open the file, or click the Choose Application or Search App Store button to select another application to open this file. If you click the Choose Application button, a dialog appears (conveniently opened to your Applications folder). Applications that OS X doesn’t think can be used to open the file are.
- Hold down the <Control> button and click (or right click if you have this enabled) over the .pdf document you wish to open.
- Their should be an option that allows you to 'Open with' (something like that) or choose the default application (should be pretty intuitive...)
- Open the .pdf document with your program of choice (in my case Preview).
One of the cool things about Preview, is if you have a single-sided document scanner (flatbed or with an automatic document feeder (ADF)), it is very simple to combine them into one document without having to purchase other .pdf applications.
