When I come around to it I will follow up with my results. Thanks Kim for the suggestion. -Bill ________________________________ From: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: For general discussion about using Skim <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tue, August 10, 2010 6:30:24 AM Subject: Re: [Skim-app-users] Preserve annotations after merging two annotated PDFs? An "external" solution, if you open Automator and select the pdf-functions, you can make an .app where you can drag pdf's and have them combined. (haven't tried it myself, but read the description of the function pdf/combine) Best regards Kim DK Den 10/08/2010 kl. 11.13 skrev Christiaan Hofman: Before merging, export the skim notes for the two files to separate files (File > Export…). After merging, read them in (File > Read Notes…), make sure you uncheck "Replace existing notes" the second time).

Problem is, when I do this, the annotations for both source PDFs are gone in the merged PDF. Q: Is there a way to *keep* the annotations after merging? If there is no elegant solution, here's a kludge that I hope to carry to completion: I have made some progress in that I *can* extract my annotations when I export as "Skim Notes" and save them onto the merged PDF by using "File > Read Notes...", but the page numbers for my annotations in the merged PDF are the same as they were in source---so that source 2 annotations are not in the correct location in the merged PDF. What I want to do is "shift" ALL the page numbers of source 2's annotations by an integer of my choosing (i.e. so that they correctly correspond to the "new" page numbers where source 2 resides in the merged PDF) Please let me know if you have any ideas to make this work---this would be great as I often find myself OCR scanning books one chapter at a time just so I can annotate them in Skim!
