I'm looking for a software combo that will allow me to record live annotations of PDF files for a screencast.

I use ScreenFlow for the recording - no problem there.

I would love to be able to use Preview for displaying and annotating the PDF. But the highlighter capability is seriously limited in Preview. It only works on what it recognizes as text. The content I want to highlight is actually a screen capture of a text document; therefore Preview doesn't recognize it as text and the highlight command isn't available.

I tried using SnagIt, which has great annotation tools. But it doesn't allow for multi-page PDF files, which is what I want to annotate.

Any ideas?
