Hello there,

I am right now typing up a python script which - hopefully - can extract the 
notes of a given PDF file annotated with Skim. I don't want to use AppleScript, 
on the one hand it is actually possible with AppleScript to export the notes to 
text, however it does not provide enough information (color of highlight e.g.).

However, i can't seem to find the physical location in which Skim writes these 
notes. It is not the PDF file itself, since its md5sum does not change. I tried 
narrowing it down by using `lsof -p <Skim-PID>`, however ultimately I could not 
find the file in which it is being stored.

Can maybe someone help me out? I would have a look at the source code, however 
I don't know a thing about Objective-C at all.

All the best,
David
