Christiaan: > Here's what the AppleScript for zoom in could look like: That's interesting, may be it could be used to solve a problem I've had with Skim for some years now? When I open Skim it is not set to 'Zoom to fit' and I have to do that every time. I've asked you about how to do this a

[Skim-app-users] copy/paste note

Christiaan: Thanks much for all your efforts on the wonderful Skim program! Using Skim 1.6.20 I wrote a note on a PDF containing the url that I got the PDF from. I then embedded the note into the pdf (https://alum.mit.edu/www/toms/ftp/skimembed). This allowed me to transfer the note along with

[Skim-app-users] Search display suggestion

Christiaan: The search function that Skim provides is better than most since it shows the new location in a bright yellow box before subsiding to a blue highlight. The Firefox browser has a fabulous search match display method. When one does command-F a box shows up in the lower left. I turn

[Skim-app-users] Skim fit

I have the latest Skim 1.6.7. I thought that this version would fix the fit problem but I can't figure out how to do it. When a PDF pops up I want it to fit to my window (which goes from the bottom of the screen to the top) and then I want to be able to just scroll through the pages since that

[Skim-app-users] Puzzling Skim settings

I use skim all the time and find it to be a fabulous program. But every once in awhile the settings I like get changed and I am unable to fix it. I want my PDFs to show up in a tight window around the PDF with minimal space around the PDF. I can adjust the size of the window by hand and then

Reinhard: Thanks for the detailed response about Flash history. > Tom, it's a pity that you relied on Adobe Flash too much in the past. I didn't. I have been interested in putting a small video into one of my PowerDot slides. I finally stumbled across movie15 in TeXLive files and from there

[Skim-app-users] Flash player no longer supported, what happens to media9 and Skim?

I just learned about https://ctan.org/pkg/media9 for playing movies in a PDF. That page says: "Playback of multimedia files uses the built-in Flash Player of Adobe Reader and does, therefore, not depend on external plug-ins." However, Flash is going away:

I display all my scientific papers using Skim and I prefer to give presentations with powerdot using Skim. These days boards don't show up lasers well and of course they can't be used in webnars. Some presentation methods appear as a bright red circle like a laser. I don't know their method,
