And if you don't like launching Skim you can also use the skimnotes  
tool.


#!/bin/bash

file="$1"
bundle="${file%.pdf}.pdfd"
name="${file##*/}"
name="${name%.pdf}"

skimnotes="/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/SharedSupport/skimnotes"

mkdir "$bundle"
cp "$file" "$bundle"
"$skimnotes" get -format skim "$file" ${bundle}"/${name}.skim"
"$skimnotes" get -format text "$file" ${bundle}"/${name}.txt"
"$skimnotes" get -format rtf "$file" ${bundle}"/${name}.rtf"
"$skimnotes" remove ${bundle}"/${name}.pdf"
