Hi all,

I just went through marking up a pdf which had a mixture of portrait and 
landscape pages. The markup consisted of highlighting phrases and adding text 
notes as comments on those phrases. All fine so far, as usual. I'm now trying 
to dump the marked pages as a pdf which can be sent back to the original author 
(who uses MS Windows). I typically do this by printing to pdf. This is where 
I'm running into problems.

If I print to pdf and allow Skim to automatically rotate the pages, the boxes 
containing the notes get rotated, but the text does not, so the notes become 
unreadable.

If I export the pdf with embedded notes, the notes themselves sometimes have an 
outline, sometimes do not, but they are always transparent and never have any 
visible content. If I hold the pointer over a transparent note, a bubble will 
pop up with the content, but the content itself is invisible on the page.

If I print to pdf and do not rotate the pages, I can get the notes to appear on 
the page by automatically rescaling the pages. Then, of course the notes on the 
landscape pages have a far smaller effective font size. 

Is this last method the only way to get the notes out to a non-Skim user when 
there are mixed orientations? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but 
obviously don't know what it is.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Bill
