Is there any way to view a PDF in Preview in Full Screen? Quick Look works, but it doesn't have the 'remembering the page you were looking at' feature that I like.

View > Slideshow (or Shift+Command+F).

This is great but you can't zoom in or out using  + or  -. – JFW Sep 29 '10 at 15:51
@JFW: Indeed, it appears this was removed in Snow Leopard. – Jan Fabry Sep 29 '10 at 21:07
Your best bet is  + f to switch between “Actual Size” and Fit To Screen. (works while you’re in “slideshow” mode) – Martín Marconcini Sep 30 '10 at 10:20
Isn't  + f 'Find'? – JFW Oct 4 '10 at 14:07
@JFW: Not while you're in Slideshow mode. There it resizes to "Fit to screen", but not back to "Actual size". You can also do it with the on-screen button bar. – Jan Fabry Oct 4 '10 at 18:21

Install MegaZoomer, it'll give you nice fullscreen viewing in Preview.

Update: Note that OS X Lion will give you this feature.

Or use Skim instead. It's an excellent pdf viewer, much more feature rich than preview. And it's free. – Harald Hanche-Olsen May 12 '11 at 7:08
Cool, nice find. – Slomojo May 12 '11 at 7:26
