[OS X TeX] \includegraphics and Annotated PDFs

[Rick Zaccone]

Printing to PDF is a good idea!  It will save me the trouble of moving  
files back and forth between 10.4 and 10.5.

By the way, this idea works for forms too.  Preview won't let you fill  
out a PDF form and save it.  You can fill it out though. Then print to  
a PDF file to save it.  The only downside is that you can't edit it  
again.
