Mac users and RAR files

Thought I wasted gold coins for a pattern PDF but I just had to figure out how to open it properly on my mac!

I used stuffit expander for this pattern http://www.pindiy.com/thread-350796-1-1.html

It opened more than one PDF file so that explains why it was a RAR and not PDF

Sorry I cant post the link to free RAR options for mac but there are several free options that explain how to do it on the wikihow site.

Good luck!

Try Unrar for mac, its free from app store, if you right click on open with it gives  the options you can open rar files with.

  @jazzo   rar isnt a program - its a file type.   What type of compressed file do you favour?  Zip and Rar are the only ones Ive heard of.    Winrar and Winzip are programs.

I use unRAR too, it seems more reliable than Stuffit.
