The Titles are very useful for summarizing the concepts of each of the singular annotations. I would have bought this app if I were able to assign titles to each of the annotations.

the Splitting feature is not well worked out.

general clunkiness: the app contains a lot of bugs.

I have been using Sente annotations for this purpose. This is the most interesting feature, for me, because I can keep single ideas as separate notes.

Splitting annotations into distinct notes.

the exported notes are in Markdown format: this can be taken as strength and weakness: depending on your interests.

Works great with other applications: like Devonthink, Bookends, and Evernote.

Even if it is not as convenient as the anchored notes in Skim, the panel is generally convenient to drop longish texts. The annotation panel could be wide: therefore, a long text can be directly inserted.

It follows the standard annotation system: annotations made in Highlights can be viewed and edited in other editors (both in the mac and windows).

If Skim follows the standard PDF specifications writing the annotations directly to the PDF itself, I would never look around. If you export and import the pdf, all the annotations get duplicated. Why doesn’t Apple adhere to the standard Adobe specifications? This same crap Kit also seems the reason that saving pdf files in Preview and the rest of Mac local applications bulges up the size of the pdf. Corporate greed seems the reason why we are suffering.

Mac OS has this weird system comes by the name **PDFKit**: it gets broken, keep on screwing us all the time. I think it is the best mac reader with the standard formats next to Adobe’s own products. I like PDF expert for it adheres to the standard PDF specifications. I am tied up to local system this is like a prison. You cannot just open the pdf and keep on annotating.

The non-standard format: if you want to read or see the annotations of the Skim, you have to export it.

This is extremely useful.īut, there are some weaknesses with this all strength.

Export templates: you can modify these templates to your need.

The keep on top feature is very useful to compare ideas: any of the annotations can be kept on top.

I usually put # on the title of the anchored note so that the title will come out as a true title when I exported the annotation using Markdown format. You can manipulate them so that the exported note will be much cooler. The best part of the anchored notes that you can give Titles to the notes. Ideas cannot come out of the blue: they emerge during the reading. Reading triggers ideas ideas breed ideas. You can literally draft your next book using the anchored note.

The annotations are more powerful and flexible: the anchored note is specially a wonderful tool.

of the 3, Skim has the best searching capabilities.

Skim: designed for the academic community: free and open source. I have been looking for different tools for reading Pdf files.Įvery one of them have strengths and weakness: 1. For that end, a good pdf reading application would be very important: much more important than any other application I use. Of the time I spend reading, more than 95% of it goes by Pdf files.
