Skim
Oct 5 2008

KUSIKANKI  I've just downloaded skim and I think it has a great future! there are only two things that should be implemented so I definitely abandon annoying Adobe acrobat:

- the OCR Text Recognition (very very very useful with scanned documents)

- the ability of skim to recognize a two separate column document (most of the papers); when you select a few lines of the first column (for highlighting, for example) it spreads over the second one! and vice-versa... it's really annoying that selection, as if it was a one column only document...

However, great app!! congrats

Yes, I agree, that would be very very useful!

HOFMAN  Acceptable (free) OCR is not possible for free and within the contraints of Apple's PDFKit, unfortunately. For column selections, use the Option key, read the FAQ on the wiki for more details. This is also behavior dictaed by Aple's PDFKit, so if you'd want this to improve more than what Skim is capable of, you should ask Apple.
