I'm writing an article about DOCX, PDF and ZIP extensions. But first, I need to know the programs which are used to open these extension as default (without any third-party applications).
I don't have a Mac or any OS X based systems, so I can not complete my article. What applications open these kinds of files?

Microsoft .docx files, can be previewed using QuickLook. To do that, just press Space after selecting such a file. They can be opened with TextEdit since OS X 10.5 (thanks, Duvrai).
PDFs (and all kinds of images) are opened by Preview.app. Many people prefer to use free and open-source Skim as a replacement PDF reader.
ZIP files and several other archive types are opened by Archive Utility (previously called BOMArchiveHelper until OS X 10.5). The Unarchiver is a well-known alternative to Archive Utility, which supports more file formats.

docxopens in TextEdit since at least OS X Lion (10.7). – Duvrai – 2014-02-23T20:21:02.0731Note that Archive Utility has almost no UI — the only thing it does is unpack the contents of archives into a new folder. It cannot be used to modify an archive in-place (which I've often seen Windows users assume is normal functionality). – Kevin Reid – 2014-02-23T21:00:03.423
