Are you doubling-clicking on a PDF file to start Preview?

What happens when you start Preview without supplying a file?

If the permissions on the PDF file look OK, then maybe it is the
Preview preferences file that is the problem. Move the Preview
permissions file somewhere and open Preview again.

Are you comfortable with the Terminal and Unix commands? (do 'ls -l
pdf-file' to see what the file permissions are).
