Re: Feature Request: Highlight and Annotate PDF
As for marking up the pdf in Preview, I see that Preview won't let you save. But rather than turning on and off webkit in Bookends, I'd click on another reference, markup and save from Preview, then click back on the reference. Or close the pdf pane and reopen it.

Re: Feature Request: Highlight and Annotate PDF
Are there any plans on implementing Snow Leopard's pdf-annotation features? Right now I have to disable the webkit rendering of pdfs, open the pdf in preview, annotate, save and enable the webkit rendering of pdfs to see any annotations I made (which is kind of cumbersum)...

Re: multiple bibliographies in mellel
cool, thanx - i had looked at the subject bibliography but not quite understood how it works. now i do :-) i do however have one more question: the way the subject bibliography seems to work is that it creates separate bibliographies depending on the criteria selected, e.g. if i select reference typ...

multiple bibliographies in mellel
hi, i am an ethnomusicologist, so when i write articles i normally distinguish between bibliography, discography and interviews (i have generated a special reference type for both interviews and recordings). is there a way to get bookends to produce these three categories automatically when generati...
