I found that I could embed notes created by Skim on my Mac into a PDF and then those notes display on Acrobat and survive transport to other computers. That's perfect for me. I can use Skim as a tool to modify notes, and I can move the resulting PDF to other systems. The mechanism with 'skimnotes convert' essentially makes a directory and the files in the directory contain the original (untouched) PDF and the notes in plain text. So you could use either or both mechanism depending on what you want do do. Tom Thomas D.
