The notes I added to a PDF file with Skim were not visible on my iPod Touch after exporting it as a PDF with the embedded notes, dragging it to the books section on iTunes, and syncing. After some experimentation, the solution I found is:

Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
Skim supports this natively through File->Export and then "PDF with Embedded Notes." That will preserve metadata, which printing often eliminates.
Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
How did you save the file in Skim after adding comments? Choose File -> Export... -> PDF With Embedded Notes and you should be able to see the notes in other PDF readers. This is documented in the manual (http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/manual/SkimHelp_46.html#SEC120)
Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
Void that last comment, I read to quickly and later noted that the poster had exported with embedded comments which confuses me. I had colleagues annotating PDFs with Skim and didn't see the comments in other readers. After showing this export setting the comments were visible in all PDF readers I could test.

you may also use VipRiser to transfer it. Choose 'iPad' as a destination and then drag the PDF (the little icon by the title) to the VipRiser icon on the dock.
Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
Skim is in extremely active development. I bet if you emailed the developers or added a ticket to their issue tracker asking them to add a "Save for iPhone" option, that they would do it.
Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
Although I haven't experimented with this, I doubt this is a bug in Skim's "export with embedded notes" feature. More likely, it's the way iPhones handle PDFs natively. I've seen a fair share of compressed PDFs that open fine in preview but won't open on any iPhone app that uses the built-in API. Edited on Oct 02, '10 04:46:51AM by loren_ryter
Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device
Hi - FWIW, I've been using GoodReader (http://goodreader.net/goodreader.html) and they recently added the ability to annotate PDFs on the iPad and iPhone. I don't have any PDFs already annotated on my Mac to transfer onto the iPhone/iPad, so someone else will have to let you know whether or not it reads them well (and vice versa). The latest Macworld article on the program is here (http://www.macworld.com/article/154552/2010/10/goodreader.html). |
