Oh, yes, of course.

OK. So I wrote a hack to convert Preview/Acrobat-style highlights to Skim 
highlights, and populate the note text. I had some Applescript trouble with the 
references in a note's selection, so it's written in Python/py-appscript. If 
anyone might know what I'm doing wrong there, I'd greatly appreciate any 
pointers.

This is proving very handy to convert highlights (the only annotation that I 
use) made with iAnnotate on the iPad so that my results are available in Skim.

Thanks again for Skim, Christiaan!

Anyone attempting to use this should keep in mind that it isn't elaborately 
tested. I'd appreciate hearing if you have either trouble or success.

Best wishes,

Charles
