Sure, that's what I will do. But, sometimes the columns are symmetrical after auto-cropping by Skim but not before (A4 paper vs US typically, whose widths are different) ... In these cases, I will have to do Skim, autocrop, export to PDF, split it, reopen with Skim. Perfectly doable of course, but it would make for a more enjoyable experience to have everything happening in Skim. Maybe I will try to make an AppleScript that does everything for me. If it works and there is a chance that anyone else might be interested, I will put everything in the wiki when it works. /v -- | Vincent Beffara Section de Mathématiques | | 2-4 rue du Lièvre | | Tél: (+41) 22 379 11 45 Case postale 64 | | Fax: (+41) 22 379 11 76 1211 Genève 4 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suisse | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
