I'm not an expert on command line. You could use something like the
find command. For example you could save the following as a shell
script, you can call it on a file or a directory, and it will work
recursively for a directory.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -d "$1" ]; then
find "$1" -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec "$0" "{}" ";"
elif [ ! -z `xattr "$1" | grep net_sourceforge_skim-app_notes` ]; then
echo "$1"
fi
