    It’s a shame this isn’t the PRO version. I need to be able to use this to make PDFs for windows users, and the chapter menu would be handy too. Oh well :)

    For basic marking PDF documents I use Skim. It’s great at that and free. In fact the stickies, comments, highlighting etc. on the figure above are exactly like skim.
    I’m sure PDFpen is better than skim, but i thought i’ll mention the free option. It might be good enough for many. In fact, on my Leopard laptop I use it as the default PDF viewer (On Snow leopard I find Preview to have better multiple column copying than skim).

    We put together a Reviewer’s Guide for PDFpen, which has an in-depth comparison chart featuring Acrobat, Preview, and Skim. You might find it helpful in comparing the relative value of Mac PDF programs: http://www.smileonmymac.com/PDFpen/PDFpen4revguide.pdf (see pp. 5-6)

    I second a deal for PDFPenPro. What about upgrade options from PDFPen to Pro?

  5. Jean MacDonald - SmileOnMyMac Says:

    You can upgrade from PDFpen to PDFpenPro for $50.

    So we’d save a big $20 off a $100 program…not much of a ZOT!

    Think I’ll give it a miss at that price. If it were 50% off I’d be tempted :)

    PLOTH, you should have hit the Smile On My Mac website on Black Friday. All their stuff was 50% off. Maybe next year, eh?
