I have several PDFs with notes attached to them using the annotation toolbar in Preview on OS X. Is there a way to extract all notes from a PDF file into a text file?

Skim does this really well, but it uses a proprietary notes format that doesn't work in Preview or Adobe Reader.

Convert Notes via Skim does the job for me. Just load the annotated PDF into Skim, convert and you can now export the notes as regular Skim notes.
