As far as it goes, you can read PDF files page-by-page in BibDesk, if you zoom in on the file icons in the lower pane, or use the Quick Look preview. No annotation or fancy reading features, though. My guess is that the iPad would basically require a new application; BibDesk is heavily oriented and optimized for usage on a laptop or desktop system. That would require significant effort, not to mention a developer with an iPad :). It does look like a good platform for that sort of app, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Both you and James have emphasized the reading/annotating aspect, so I'm curious whether you're looking for BibDesk with a viewer, or Skim with a PDF manager. -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list Bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
