The changes will be reflected everywhere (windows pcs, ipad, iphone, all fetch from the same folder). Work on any of the app, as the need arises. These were the steps i used to sync my notes to various apps Use services such as Simplenote and Dropbox to access them via the cloud (syncing).plain files can be access them by different apps (as the need arises).Keep all the text notes in the same folder, inside Dropbox.Future proof plain text (markdown) files are the best.So, never use them: history is the best teacher hyperlinks are stupid for keeping information for a long time Wikis are bad: they will be broken if u move something.As such, given how much more of my work seems to happen on iOS these days, I find the absence of this functionality in DTTG very frustrating and probably the biggest pain point of using DTTG in my workflow.On Note-taking, wikis and Tinderbox General lessons: Note, the application Keep It, by Reinvented Software (another great document management program (on both Mac and iOS) akin to DevonThink) is able to offer this functionality both through its iOS share sheet as well as through bookmarklet functionality.Ĭlipping to PDF on DT for Mac (including source URL) is such a useful, well implemented and (I imagine) popular feature. I appreciate all the input but feel that the most fundamental question that mtnh2oskier is posing still has not been addressed - why can’t the DTTG share sheet offer the option to clip from the web in PDF format and retain info such as the source URL? I came here looking for answers about clipping web pages to PDF on DTTG and found this thread. For me, Bear is my primary editor, it does the things I need that other editors don’t provide so i’d Pay the subscription regardless. The downside is that you need a Bear subscription, the free version does not include the needed features for the full workflow (I believe). This may sound like a torturous Workflow, but it’s quite fast. Once I choose PDF as the export format, Bear displays the PDF and I then share it by choosing copy to Devonthink and the PDF ends up in DTTG’s global inbox. Once I export it as PDF I usually delete the markdown internal file in Bear, or save it temporarily in case I want to export it again in one if it’s export formats (text, PDF, RTF, docs, md and html). I consider this the intermediate form of the article in Bear. Note that Bear stores it’s original copy as markdown. I then jump to Bear where I display the file and I tap the info icon (I) and choose exporting as PDF. I then have a choice of sending a link, a titled link or the page’s contents to Bear - I choose the latter. When viewing a web page of interest I tap the share icon and choose the Bear icon. I use a Workflow that results in a PDF that has pagination, includes the the article’s links to other web pages, does not include the ads and other frames not associated with the article’s frame (uncluttered), and ends with a link to the article’s web url, on the last page of the PDF. I consume articles found on the web every day. I’ve even tried sending the article to Instapaper and getting it into DEVONthink from there, but that isn’t satisfactory either. The reader view is essential to me as I don’t want all the web ads in my database. Please note, I’m using the “print to PDF” as the web clipper does not allow me to save from the “reader view” on iOS Safari. Creating the PDF on the Mac fixes both of these issues, but I can’t seem to find a way to do it on iOS. In addition, the embedded clickable links no longer work. For one, the url is not saved when I use the “print” function and send the article to DEVON. I can get the pdf into DEVONthink To Go, but there are some problems with it. What I’m currently doing is saving the web archive when I am on iOS and then going to my Mac and saving the article again as a PDF. However, I’ve not found a suitable workflow on iOS. I prefer to save web articles as PDFs in my database. I am fairly new to DEVONthink, but it’s quickly become indispensable to my work.
