Hi, I like highlighting text in articles as I read them in Skim, just like in actual "paper papers". However, this doesn't work for older papers that are scanned versions of the printed papers, or for highlighting stuff in images. The highlight function apparently only works by attaching itself to actual text in the pdf. (It also often doesn't work well for highlighting equations, which have super/subscripts, fractions, etc, which seems to confuse the text selection.)
Would it be possible to make a highlight tool that work like a highlighter pen when you are in regions of a pdf that does not have text, so that you can "paint" highlight over whatever is on the page? One can almost achieve this by using the freehand tool but with a wide line and partially transparent color, but unlike the normal highlight tool, the partial opacity also grays out the text being highlit. Ideally, you'd want it to only be subtractive, like the highlight tool is. cheers, /Patrik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
