I am looking for an application (something like DEVONthink or StickyBrain, but they don't seem to have this feature) that allows me to store, organize, and most importantly annotate PDFs. When I say annotate, I mean the ability to add comments to sections of text in a similar manner to MS Word's comment feature (within its Track Changes capability).

Does there exist such a piece of software? Or do I have to just harass DEVON and Chronos to get them to add this feature?

You can use Tiger's Preview to create text annotations and oval marker annotations. And of course you can do this with Adobe Acrobat.

Thanks for the headsup on preview. Its only problems are: 1) the text doesn't show up when searching, and 2) it's so painfully slow on my 1.33 Ghz 12" PB (basically unusable). Yes, I have acrobat, but I am looking for something a little more streamlined.

The annotations in Preview are not editable after a save... that is a real bummer.
