Hi Josh, Yes, the behavior with PDF documents is improved, although it is still not the same as viewing them on Windows. Nevertheless, you can get all the text from them now without having to go through contortions. I trust that Apple will release more substantial changes in 10.9. Best, Zack.

Hi, While I cannot confirm the problems with Skim on 10.8.4, I can suggest that Preview has much improved. I should clarify that it has not yet given us access to all the elements of PDF files, such as tables and forms, but it's reading experience now very closely matches what you would receive

Hi, Yes, you can. I have just tested the feature, and it works very well indeed. You can write notes, and later go to them easily. The one thing it doesn't seem to do is to announce notes as you read continuously, which could probably get a little jarring. HOpe this helps, Zack. On May 3, 2013,
