Hi,

I searched the list archives and didn't see my question addressed, so I thought 
I would post to the list.

I would like to annotate PDF files using a Wacom pen (DTU-1631) display 
attached to my MacBook Pro. The idea is that I will create PDF documents like 
this one (Dropbox loads the file in an odd way, but you can click download):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eifhgv438e3eqxm/sample_pages.pdf

and then will write on them using the pen display during lectures, save the 
final result, and post it for students after class.

I have tried:

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10
Bamboo Dock
Deskscribble
inkBook
Open-Sankore
PDFpen
Preview
Skim

Skim works the best in that:

* it supports showing the slides in presentation mode on the external pen 
display

* it supports the back end of the Wacom pen as an eraser

* it antialiases the lines drawn (they look great)

What I am finding is that when drawing using my mouse on my MBP display, it is 
very responsive. On the other hand, when drawing on the external pen display, 
there is a long delay between what I draw and when it shows up. It captures 
everything, but the delay makes it unusable.

Am I doing something wrong or is there some setting I should be using that I am 
not? Should I be using something other than Skim to do what I wish to do?

Thank you for your help.

Gary
