Ok now I have El Capitan and Skim, and indeed the highlight issue is fixed.
However, there's another symptom even more alarming. When opening the pdf
with the same version of Skim (), I get the following message:
"Unable to read notes for /Volumes/Shared
Folders/Home/Documents/.../EBook.pdf, but a Skim notes file with the same
name was found. Do you want Skim to read the notes from this file?"
This sounds as if the pdf may have been corrupted by the High Sierra
PDFKit, and is unreadable by the version of PDFKit in El Capitan.
Any thoughts?
