Hi all. I have a large (600 pages, 15 meg) PDF, of which I am trying to read in notes from a medium(?) sized skim file (600KB, but I don't know how to determine how many individual notes are in this--neither skim nor the notes reader indicates this).
When I open the PDF, which has probably 30-40 less notes than are in the .skim file, and try to replace those with the latest copy from the skim file (with File->Read Notes), Skim seems to go into a wild memory eating loop. It got up to 2 G of memory, and my swap hit 3G, before my system became responsive enough to let me force-quit it. Tried again after a reboot to load the notes in, with the same effect. I've only read 100 or so of the 600 pages of the PDF, so I'm expecting my annotation data to grow to 6x its current size. Is anyone else working with large annotation sets? Is skim up to the task? (If not, then can someone tell me if Adobe's own Acrobat software is? And if I buy it, is there a way to convert Skim's notes to Adobe's format? I've already pretty well committed to the Skim data format, so this is really worrying) I'm totally unable to work tonight, now that I'm home from the office and unable to read in my annotations. Quite frustrating.
