However, I would agree with you that it's quite complicated within the application to decide wheter you want / need to "save", "save as" or "export".

This is a lovely app to use, but for me the above mentioned problem makes it crazy to use when we have preview 5.5 available.

If you want to export a PDF with notes, then go File -> Export -> and select "PDF with embedded notes".

In fact, the application in the app store has its OWN copyrighting mark. Is that legal?

If you use its annotation features with keyboard shortcuts and multi-touch gestures (BetterTouchTool), this becomes an incredible aid to productivity.
The main limitations on it are mainly imposed by Apple's PDFKit, which causes problems for page numbering and saving Adobe Clearscanned OCR documents (which are much smaller and sharper than ordinary OCR, but PDFkit destroys that layer when it saves a PDF using it).
It would be great if it could perform some table of contents editing and page manipulation functions as well (like Preview, PDF Clerk Pro and the new PDF Nomad). But its also understandable that the devs want to keep Skim focused and avoid feature-bloat.

PS whats up with preview in lion? I can only imagine the developers have never actually used the application, it's infuriating!
PPS See http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/wiki/index.php/SyncTeX for minor needed configuration for Aquamacs to play with Skim

Some of my pdfs are not printing! (while it's ok with version 1.3.18!)
I've only tested some, it appears that they have skim notes or tables or have been edited somehow, I'm not sure of the reason — while one that contains only a scan of an image prints ok.

Does the same happen with other mail links – say, in your browser?
Try to change the default email application, the setting is in Mail's preferences.
As far as I know, Skim relies on the global settings for links.
Thanks

I think this happened when I accidentally deleted tool mode, then I went to 'customize toolbar' and added it back. At first I could get it to work by going to 'Tools > Note Type > highlight', but now that won't even work.
Does anyone have a suggestion of how I can fix this? If the suggestion is to delete Skim and download the application again, will the highlights and notes I have saved in documents be lost?
Thank you.

Though, even in PDFs where the text tool works, the highlight, underline and strikeout buttons are grayed out in Add Note in my toolbar.
