Hi everyone (developers too?),

I have two Skim-annotated PDFs (sources 1 and 2) which I want to merge into one 
PDF in that order (I use CombinePDFs to do the merging since Skim cannot do 
this 
for me).  Problem is, when I do this, the annotations for both source PDFs are 
gone in the merged PDF.

Q: Is there a way to *keep* the annotations after merging?

If there is no elegant solution, here's a kludge that I hope to carry to 
completion:
I have made some progress in that I *can* extract my annotations when I export 
as "Skim Notes" and save them onto the merged PDF by using "File > Read 
Notes...", but the page numbers for my annotations in the merged PDF are the 
same as they were in source---so that source 2 annotations are not in the 
correct location in the merged PDF.  What I want to do is "shift" ALL the page 
numbers of source 2's annotations by an integer of my choosing (i.e. so that 
they correctly correspond to the "new" page numbers where source 2 resides in 
the merged PDF) 

Please let me know if you have any ideas to make this work---this would be 
great 
as I often find myself OCR scanning books one chapter at a time just so I can 
annotate them in Skim!

Thanks!

-Bill
