Skim is a PDF reader and note-taker for OS X. It is designed to help you read and annotate scientific papers in PDF, but is a great application to read and view any PDF file.
Skim is free and open-source. It is under active development by a small group of volunteer contributors and more are always welcome.
See the Skim web page for download links and release notes.
The current release of Skim requires OS X version 10.13 or higher.
The latest versions running on older Mac OS X versions are as follows:
Mac OS X version | Latest Skim version |
---|---|
OS X 10.10, 10.11, 10.12 | 1.6.21 |
Mac OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 | 1.5.13 |
Mac OS X 10.6 | 1.4.41 |
Mac OS X 10.5 | 1.3.22 |
Mac OS X 10.4 | 1.2.7 |
For PPC devices, Skim version 1.3.7 and higher seem to run into an unresolved system bug.
