There was discussion of this right here on June 19th. I wrote an Applescript to convert iAnnotate annotations to Skim formats. You can find it here: <http://vze26m98.net/skim/skim-hilites.zip> It's designed to be used with the frontmost window in Skim and converts three note types, which can be fiddled with or commented out. As I described it to a friend: "The really important part is the extraction of text from the PDF hilite. Otherwise, you get a Skim Note, but no text. The "text note" formatting is just to make the iAnnotate notes look like the Skim equivalent. You can adjust to taste, or comment out. The final "anchored note" is an interesting one. Skim creates a note with a title, and "extended text." Currently, the script just puts everything in the title, but if you look at what's commented out, you can play with how the text is apportioned." Note that this could be modified for bulk conversion. Obviously, Skim would have to be opened, but once it is, just open and close your list of PDFs. I'd be happy to support this, with the usual caveats about backing up your precious data, but I'll move the DL location in the next day...
