However, pdf or pdf bundle, the only software that could read the file was skim.Īnd now the alternative to skim (I think I'm going to default my pdf annotating), adobe acrobat pro. I tried to remedy this issue by saving all my pdfs as pdf bundles, so the information would always be there wherever I move it. Skim saved the annotated information in a hidden file in the same directory as the pdf itself, so if the pdf was moved to another drive from what I understand the information would be still on the original drive. And there was the problem of interoperability. I do see it as a "new" feature as apple just included in 10.6 and I hope to see changes down the road for a better user experience.Īlso, drawing in skim was limited, as if I tried to draw with my mouse it was not a pleasant experience, even though the feature was included. I tried it out a couple of times and it was pretty hard to use whether I compare it to skim or adobe acrobat pro. When skim was unusable I had to switch to preview, which in my opinion is severely lacking in features when it came to pdf annotation. Unfortunately all the problematic pdfs were from one class and I couldn't use skim. To say the least skim was a stable app, except for that issue. I encountered that problem in 10,6,3 and I am hoping that it will be fixed in 10.6.3. I went as far as to talk to the developers of skim about it, and part of the thread can be found here but they notified me in the end that it was not skim's problems and it was apple's. Every time I would open it and a couple of minutes later it would crash, and the error message would come up.

Another issue isn't really skim's fault, it's apple's but on some pdfs skim would crash repeatedly. I could not default it as on which I saw as a nuisance (I like making sure that my spelling is correct. I searched through forums and found a software called skim that could annotate pdfs but I've always had a number of issues with it.įirst of all, the spell check was always off unless I turned it on.

Yes, I have recently tried the trial of circus ponies notebook again and yes it does have a pdf annotation feature similar to onenote, a software which I am just yearning to have on mac os x without running darwine. I went down the path of circus ponies notebook, which did have a lot more features but when I got into university what I realized was that I didn't need an application to take notes, rather I needed an application that could annotate pdf, since all the professors sent out their powerpoint slides in pdf. The page was pretty much set in stone as to what you could and could not do. I found that the features in the notebook view were limited, to say the least, and I couldn't even change the font I wanted in the notebook view, which I was somewhat disappointed about.

Granted, if you're not using your computer when you're recording the lecture then fine (which was what I did last year when recording my microbiology lecture, which I have never listened to after I recorded it). In the end if I wanted to record a lecture I would just use garageband, though in my opinion recording lectures from the computer is in itself a horrible idea since as you type it makes sounds on the keyboard, and since the mic is right next to the keyboard (I'm on the early 2008 macbook pro) when I listen to it again I can hear everything going on. Bad quality, every little click on the keyboard could be heard and there was a lot of background noise. Note that when office '08 first came out they didn't have a trial so I was unable to test out the software prior to buying it. But when I actually tried the notebook view it was too late. "Wow, I can record all my lectures on here" or "Hey it seems really easy to document your notes with their tabs" and the list goes on. So first off when I got microsoft office: mac '08 I was pretty excited about the notebook view. I shall first describe my journey in the notetaking world.

Now, don't get me wrong I am not particularly an adobe fan, *cough* flash *cough*, but I must say that I tried out adobe acrobat pro and I can see how it can be incredibly useful for students.

I've looked at and in a sense reviewed a wide variety of products ranging from the built-in word "notebook" view in mac office '08 to skim to circus ponies notebook for mac to skim and just recently I got a copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional and I must say I have been blown away by the kinds of things you can do with it, in terms of notetaking. As a student, I am naturally interested in note taking products.
