Hi Cristiaan,
since the problem persists and I don't know if and when you can repair
it I want to declare Adobe Reader to my "standard" program for pdf-
files again.
I don't remember where to do it.
Could you please give my the procedure to declare Adobe reader instead
of Skim to my default/standard opening program for pdf-files.
Servus, tschau, bye

Hi Christiaan,
Huh? So what did you do with Acrobat, did you save or anything?
What actually changed to the file?
No. As far as I know my Acrobat is a Reader only.
I tried to reproduce this effect and didn't succeed at first. That
means, the new SKIM did open pdf's correctly.
Up till a certain time (or whatever): now SKIm gives me that gray
page again. Even with pdf's which I opened correctly with SKIM a
minute ago.
Launch Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities), select the
Console Messages in the LHS pane and look for messages from Skim.
In my Console messages I don't see anything remotely like "LHS".
LHS = Left Hand Side (standard acronym)
But in the "system.log" There is this (I guess the time is not
Greenwich time) concerning SKIM (I just copy the end of this log)

This points to some problem. I've seen It's really a (long time)
system bug in that was (finally) fixed in Snow Leopard. I hoped a
workaround I added in the latest release would fix this, but the
system bug seems to be even more serious than I thought. Though I am
not sure what exactly triggers it in Skim, and I don't have a
machine running Leopard anymore to debug.

Hi Christiaan,

No, it only works OK for every dataset after that very dataset
has been once opened by Acrobat Reader.
After that Skim also opens correctly with the first page.
Huh? So what did you do with Acrobat, did you save or anything?
What actually changed to the file?
Is there anything relevant in the Console logs?
I'm not acquainted with that,
Launch Console.app (in /Applications/Utilities), select the
Console Messages in the LHS pane and look for messages from Skim.
And what's your system?
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Did 1.3.6 work OK? Did the PDF have any notes attached?

Hi,
I've just installed SKIM 1.3.7 (55) and now I get a gray blank
page when I open a pdf.
The page counter above is at the last page. But when I go the
last but 1 page (and so on) I only get gray pages all the time.
Opening the same pdf with Adobe works normally.
After I did this the very same pdf also works with SKIM normally.
What am I doing wrong?

You're probably doing nothing wrong, but I cannot say what goes
wrong. So you're saying that it now works OK? Is there anything
relevant in the Console logs? And what's your system?
