Apple - How to show all annotations at once in Preview?
This is a workaround, as I couldn't find a hotkey or menu option to do this. Still, clicking
View > Hide Notes
and then
View > Show Notes
Will show all anotations. I can now see all the annotations without manually clicking them. This worked on Preview 5.5.1.
For Preview 8.1, I was also concerned that all my Notes were minimized (their term, not "hidden"). Solution is to change the default (new since 10.7 I think):
View > Highlights and Notes
Once this is toggled, the Notes again show in margins.
