Regarding the small text notes issue, I just wanted to mention to everyone that the workaround is to (1) right-click the text note > Note Font... to change the size of the font for a particular text note or (2) go to Preferences... > Note fonts > Text to change the size for all future text notes---you would have to revert back to Default or previous settings when you annotate a "normal vector image" PDF.
Christiaan: It's my experience that the "relative" size of the text note does actually change (the size is probably always the same number of pixels by default, but indeed for the raster PDFs it "looks" smaller) probably depending on the resolution of the PDF you have---someone back me up on this if you use Skim to annotate scanned PDFs. If there was a way to click toggle between 2-3 different "presets" in the "Notes" tab in the preferences, that would be nice to have. -Bill ________________________________ From: Christiaan Hofman <[email protected]> To: For general discussion about using Skim <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 12:16:59 AM Subject: Re: [Skim-app-users] Too durned small: text notes, circles, and boxes in scanned PDFs On Feb 17, 2011, at 6:41, Carl Lee wrote: Dear Christaan and all, > > >I digitally scan in my notes pretty frequently (200 dpi, 8.5" by 11", black >and >white, exported as PDF) and like to annotate them using Skim. > > >Problem is, when I want to add a text note (ie. sticky), circle, or box to >such >a PDF they are all quite small (less than a quarter the size of one added in a >"standard" vectorized PDF, such as any typical journal article)---in order for >me to read my annotations, I usually have to zoom-in like Sherlock. > > >Can we somehow manually scale the size of such "notes" for a given document if >desired?

Note that you can change the default font size in the preferences. I also don't see how the size of the note depends on what PDF you have, as it doesn't. Christiaan
