Very handy - Version: 1.2.7, 10/28/2009 09:28AM PST

Thanks to the people who made this app. I find it very helpful to take notes in pdf's and it saves me from having to print out documents. The ability to export my notes with a link to the pdf document is really handy. It would be nice if the notes didn't have to reside in the same folder as the document but an alias of the notes takes care of that. Would definitely recommend this.

Contrary to Version Tracker saying 1.3.1 works on 10.4 it doesn't. It's for 10.5 of higher only
