I found FoxTrot a convenient way to read multiple PDF documents (after finding the right ones; in working with scientific papers, there can be dozens found); however I constantly forget that it (apparently) cannot create highlights and notes, so I select a chunk of text only to be reminded of that. Opening new Preview windows breaks the flow and defeats the neatness of having one application window.

It is understood that FoxTrot works with multiple document types, and for most, adding this feature would be non-trivial, besides being very rarely needed. But it would be most useful for PDFs, and simple to add given that the format supports it.
