I found the problem. When Skim starts up it is in a what I am guessing is highlight mode. Perhaps I put it in this mode accidentally and it was using it as default from that point.

The tool mode sticks between launches and documents. So it is whatever you were last using.


I am a new user so I didn't even know there were these modes. To get the usual functionality I had to select the "hand" in the toolbar.

Sorry for being silly.

Though apparently you did select the mode, as the default factory setting is the standard text selection mode.

For example on the file http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf.
I just tried an older version of Skim, same problem. I can confirm they work in previewer and acrobat.
Should I try to reinstall something, perhaps the PDFKit?

Moreover, PDF has many different types of links (and I don't just mean internal or external). For example, you can get different types of links depending in the package and/or precise command you use. Alos, are you running Tiger or Leopard? I know that PDFKit on Tiger cannot handle certain types of links. The various types of links work correctly for me (on Leopard).

Unfortunately simply left clicking on a link of any kind does nothing for me. I agree that would certainly be very logical :) Perhaps my installation of Skim is broken.
Could anyone confirm that left clicking jumps to an external link?

That's a variant of Skim's Snapshot feature, to have a static view of
a section of the PDF. It is not meant as a general "follow this link"
action.

uhmm, click the link perhaps, as in other viewers? And if you want to
go back, why not hit Back (cmd-[) after that?
