It's not a computer question, but a software question. The particular program you are currently using on your mac might not support the K-7 PEF, but other programs for mac would.
Quote: I also noticed on the Adobe website something called a Adobe DNG convertor 6.1 - so do I need to download that? Does that replace ACR?
It's not a replacement for ACR, no - it's just a standalone program to convert PEF to DNG if for some reaosn you want a DNG but don't want to simply shoot DNG in the first place. Useful mostly for people whose cameras don't shoot DNG.
Quote: And what about the few dozen photos I have uploaded to my laptop that are in PEF - is there any way to convert them to DNG or any other format that I will be able to preview in Finder and Bridge CS4?
The above covnerter will convert to DNG - that's the whole point. There are no other RAW formats you can convert to, but of course if you want to leave the world of RAW and create JPEG;'s, any of the RAW processing programs that support the K-7 PEF files will be able to create JPEG's for you if you like.
