REGISTRATIONPROCESS  Can this app display pdf-books in alternative colors or can it only display them in the hard black-on-white contrast?

Maybe light-grey background and darkblue/gray text or thelike?

If this app can't do that, it is useless for me - I read a lot of ebooks on my Powerbook and don't want to become blind, black on white is to hard for reading for a longer time...

Are there other alternatives to Acrobat that let you change the display colors of pdf texts?  (Version 1.1.8)

SCRIVENS  Adobe reader has been a lumpy, slow and annoying app for years, and on the release of v8 I gave up and found an old copy of v5 on a software distribution disk and reinstalled that. What most people need for pdf files and similar is something akin to Preview with perhaps a few more bells and whistles, not an MS Office style app full of unneeded code. Skim is perfect - fast, small, looks good on screen and has the ability to handle notes and so on as well. It has become an essential part of my daily work, Adobe Reader has been deleted and I've changed the pdf default from Preview to Skim. A very elegant and stable app and potentially one of the great utilities for OSX. My thanks to the developers.  (Version 1.1.6)

JAYCEE  I have just discovered Skim and I am currently running v24 (1.1.2) on a G4 1.33GHz 17 inch PowerBook running 10.5.2 in 2GB of RAM. The software is a delight to use and the developers are to be congratulated on producing a well written piece of software with a logical interface that is intuitive to understand. Skim is what Adobe Reader ought to have been. The annotation features are just great and Skim makes reading documents on screen, a pleasure. Skim contains an excellent feature set and it was a real bonus to discover that it can convert Postscript files to PDF format as well. My thanks to all on the development team.   (Version 1.1.2)

MACROXX  Skim is great. It works nicely and is easy to use.
