Fading annotations in Preview 5.5.1

I use Preview to read pdf files for my study, and use the annotations because they are great and versatile. But I just noticed that some old ones have started to fade! Since I'm not interessted in them disappearing before the exam, how can I stop them from fading/changing color? Will they ever fade to the point where I can't read them anymore?


I'm running Lion (10.7.3) and Preview (5.5.1)

Preview 5.5.1-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

This has been reported before as a bug; there's a workaround here, but you'll have to roll up your sleeves a bit.


Read all the posts by 'paddytheprogrammer' in this 3 page thread before attempting it:

BTW, I stopped using Preview when Lion came out. A simpler solution if you're only using for pdfs is to use the free SKIM pdf viewer:
