Using a Skim-annotated PDF on an iOS device

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:
- From Skim: Print » Open in Preview.
- In Preview: Save the file as a PDF.
- And then drag the saved file to iTunes for syncing.
If you don't know it, Skim is an open source PDF reader and note-taker for Mac OS X. It's got some nifty features. The manual is online here.
