[ http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/skim-app/index.php?title=Tips_and_Trick... ] Reading man pages in Skim Everyone who uses the command line knows how tedious it can be to read a Unix man page in the terminal, especially for long man pages, such as for bash. However, man pages can also be pretty-printed in PostScript format, and Skim can read PostScript. The following line can be used to show the man page for bash in Skim (of course this works for any shell command). man -t bash | open -f -a Skim ... Definitely continuing with some yak prep here. Skim is a very nice program with the ability to annotate PDF documents in various ways -- and once you have the pdf in Skim, you can annotate it, and send it back out to a PDF bundle with your annotations. A lot of people use Skim with Papers to keep track of their scientific PDF documents.
