If you regularly read and annotate PDF documents, you need Skim. It’s more powerful than Preview, but lighter on its feet than Acrobat Profesional. As well as making notes, you can bookmark sections, search content, capture snapshots and read files in full-screen mode. Skim also makes a decent presentation tool, as you can add transitions and ise the Apple Remote to control it. If that’s not enough, you can download remote PDF files, preview internal links and focus on specific sections using a reading bar.
