If you have something like Macromedia's Freehand, you can keep and edit
the multi-page .ps files, tweaking the paths of your original "ink
text" or sketches or whatnot. It's not something you wanna do often, as
it can be frustrating trying to duplicate with a mouse what's so easy with
a pen. :-) However, it's handy if you've got notes you would like to
share, because you can take pieces/parts and export them into a
Web-accessible format.
What I've done with many of my notes is print them to postscript (using
ethertalk and a linux box) and then use 'ps2pdf' to convert them into .PDF
files. Distiller would do this for you, too, if you're inclined to do it
on your "pc" rather than your "box."
As a final note, I'm willing to bet this is all possible with OS X, since
you've got the same capabilities under the hood for setting up a printer
daemon. Some done this? If not, I'll play around and see if I can come
up with some useful instructions on how. :)
