Skim | Home. I was too, and couldn’t find any way to change that behavior. So I investigated and discovered that Skim is a light-weight PDF viewer that will remember your preferences. The webpage says it is designed to help you read and annotate scientific papers in PDF but it is fantastic for viewing PDF files. I have no reason to install reader anymore.

Review: LiveScribe Echo Digital Pen « Rigorous Trivialities. If you are looking to digitize what you write without a scanner you might consider personal digital pens. LiveScribe seems to be the best in the field for this. For $99 you can get a pen that will transcribe what you write on special paper into words on your screen. There is even a company in the comments below that will allow it to work even better with Microsoft OneNote.
Why would you do this? Many people do not have the experience or time to fuss with OCR software and scanning. In addition, the pen allows some limited audio recording as well. If you are in the publishing industry, I could see how this could save time. I am concerned about the costs in paper/consumables but if you do the math you might find out it is cheaper.
Has anyone used Google docs to save to a word file and also to a pdf? Without changing anything between the two the PDF is 180kb and the word doc is 90kb. Isn’t the advantage of a PDF that it compresses unnecessary information? When I compress the same file from the 90kb word file in Microsoft Word 2011 to a PDF on a Mac I get 150kb. What is the other 30k doing in that PDF file? Has anyone else noticed that Google docs makes chunky PDF’s?
