Re: [Skim-app-users] weird crash printing to two-sided pdf/opening in Preview from Skim

[Christiaan H. <cmh...@gm...>]

I can indeed reproduce that crash. It's indeed an Apple bug. I filed a bug
report, you may also do so (the more people file a bug report, the more
urgent it becomes), you can refer to my bug: rdar://problem/5814725.
