I think preview on MacOS is great but when I'm on windows (and 95% of the time I'm on Mac) I open PDFs in Chrome (Firefox would probably work as well). Both have a built in sandboxed reader.

In fact pretty much the only time I open a PDF in preview is to merge 1 or more PDFs (show the thumbnails, copy and paste them from one to the other).

Otherwise I never use Preview for PDFs and I reference tons of PDF based specs.

On the other hand I use Preview to quickly crop or markup screenshots all the time.
