Hello, When converting PDF Annotated Notes to Skim Anchored Notes, the "File > Convert Notes" command places the PDF Annotated Notes into the first field of the Skim Anchored Notes and leaves the second field empty.
The first field of the Anchored Notes appears to be for headlines in the Notes pane, while the second field appears to be for longer comments. The second field is more useful for reading and editing notes. Is there an automated method to move the content of the Anchored Notes from the first field—the headline—to the second field—the place for longer comments? I have more than 500 pdf files annotated with Preview Annotated Notes. I converted them to Skim Anchored Notes using the command line. The results are the same as using the "File > Convert Notes" command—the long Annotated Notes end up the first fields of the Skim Anchored Notes. Exporting Anchored Notes as text is not an issue. That is pretty easy with SkimPDF. I would like to able to read and edit the notes as Anchored Notes inside of Skim. So far, I have been copying and pasting the notes. I have searched for an answer in the Skim documentation, mailing list archives, wiki (including the AppleScript section) and usage documentation for SkimNotes and SkimPDF tools. Not finding a answer may result from not knowing the correct terms for the first and second fields in the Anchored Notes, that is what you see when you create or open a note. I have a one-page before and after example, plus screen shots, if these help. Thanks for any assistance.
