I assume this situation isn't too common, since I have been using a Mac since April, 2007 and have never encountered a pdf that Preview couldn't handle.

Not too worried about vulnerabilities on IOS right now. I have both Acrobat & iBooks installed on the iPad & iPhone.

Is there a PDF reader included with 6.0.1 iOS? If so, is it called preview or is it something else?

Um. Acrobat Reader. Download it.

Too many vulnerabilities with adobe products. I've installed IBooks so guess that'll do. I was curious if iOS had a PDF reader built in.

Mail does. I've used Acrobat for a decade and a half and never had a problem.

I can open PDFs in my email and I have not installed iBooks or anything else.
