Hi all
I hope this isn't a repeat of a message you just saw, I had a crash
while writing the last one, grrr.
Anyway. I'm almost afraid to do this after the chaos I caused last
time, but I've got a new application to mention. Please let me know
if I'm doing too many of these things.
This time, it's an alternative to preview called Skim. It's almost
identical to preview, keystrokes, menus etc, with one major
difference that's important to us as blind users, you can make
notes inside your document. In other words, you're reading a
computer book in your PDF reader, you come across an interesting
bit of information, hit a hotkey and write a note. You can also
annotate with boxes and circles etc, but I obviously haven't
experimented much with this.
Once you've got a bunch of notes, you can have an outline view of
all your notes alongside your document if you want. You can also,
as of the last version, export the notes as RTF files, complete
with the page number the note was on.
Again, it's completely accessible, controls have VO help, and it's
free and open source.
you can download it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app
