Hi there, thanks for the great job so far. Skim is much better to use, faster and consistent than the ugly Acrobat 7.0 - which i used with by now about 1000 PDF-texts - some of them OCRed scans - that i dont want to loose.
1. The most important question conceirns the future of the project. Is your xml-format easy to convert into this future file format? On what criterias are the markers, notes etc. synced to the pdf file? Is there a documentation of .skim-files that are as far as I see binarized xml-files? (by the way to all users: these skim files can be converted into standard xml via the command plutil -convert xml1 /path/to/skimfile ) 2. Does anyone know about concepts migrating PDF-comments (exportable as so-called fdf-files) into Skim? 3. I would appreciate keycommands for different (marker)colors - lets say: ALT-OPTION-1 color1 (eg yellow) ALT-OPTION 2 green and so on. 4. If you have plans about hierarchical bookmarks analog to webbrowsers it would be a good idea to have an first default entry "bookmarks of the current document". Once again: I am really impressed by your work and are very happy to get rid of the proprietary, inconsistent and unlogical Acrobat. Greetings Euro Schwenzer P.S: Skims biggest limitation is the platform-dependence. In a few years i hope there will be a free standard comparable to PDF that is able to have the same features (layoutet documents, use of OCRed pictures). Are you in touch with such developements? Maybe Skim can envolve into a reader for such a format?SSA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
