Yeah, that would be a job for scripting, I think. For instance, using AppleScript you might be able to construct a URL in Skim that links to a specific page: http://bluedragon.blog-city.com/jump_to_a_pdf_page_or_section_via_a_url_request.htm However, I don't know if opening those works with Skim, and it would require some care when storing them. File URLs are pretty fragile for long-term storage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
