The PDF viewer is awkward compared with a dedicated viewer like Preview, and you get no access to the file itself (no saving, no revealing in Finder).

Wow, that was really difficult to find. A contextual menu like "Open Page in Preview" would be super helpful.
Also, I tend to use Acrobat for PDF viewing as it's pretty kick-ass in this regard. But how to find that PDF file?
1. View PDF in Xcode
2. Open Activity Monitor
3. Click Xcode application in list of running processes
4. Click "Inspect" button in the Tool Bar.
5. Click "Open Files and Ports"
6. Search list for the PDF file.
7. Copy path to the file
8. Go to Finder, Select Go>Go to folder…, paste the path (minus filename)
9. Open the file in PDF viewer of choice
