Think of this as a folder style view to help with sorting and overall organization. These are more directly related for example, I have created a group for TechRepublic posts within DEVONthink to keep my post submissions together. Similar to tagging, grouping allows you to pull similar documents together. Using tags can increase productivity by decreasing the time needed to find documents you have added to the database. DEVONthink supports this as well, allowing tags to be added to every document, item, or folder stored within the database. Those of us with blogs or who use the Internet regularly are likely familiar with the idea of tagging - adding keywords to your posts that help them be found more easily.

This is a feature I was not expecting, but is definitely a pleasant surprise. When I edit it from within the database, Word does all the work, but the save goes back to the database and all changes are kept. For example, this post was stored in DEVONthink as a Word document. When working on documents stored in the database, you can access a preview of a document from the DEVONthink application as well as push it out to be edited by the application associated with the document. Using tags and groups to classify your data, DEVONthink helps to make you more productive by storing your information in a very searchable manner.Ĭontent can be imported into the database from Finder, email, web bookmarks, and pretty much any other source you can think of. What is DEVONthink?ĭEVONthink is a database for tagging and tracking information of all kinds. While surfing the Internet to solve a different problem, I came across DEVONthink and was a intrigued to see if it could help me manage my information. The volume of data that needs to be tracked, on my laptop alone is astounding and to do that using the traditional file/folder hierarchy becomes less useful with each document. Keeping track of documents, files, and folders becomes increasingly more challenging everyday.

You’ll probably get a folder named Abbyy_i386. You’ll also need to close the DevonThink Sorter helper application (the one that displays various inboxes).

It’s important that you exit the application entirely and not just close all windows.

DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE INSTALL

This is quite important the reason you need to install it manually is because of a broken download in the first place. But you can use just about any other download manager as long as it supports resuming interrupted downloads. I used a Firefox plugin DownThemAll for this.

DEVONTHINK PRO OFFICE HOW TO

If you have DevonThink Pro Office and it keeps getting a “ The request timed out” error message whenever you try to create a searchable PDF, here are steps how to fix it. However, I found a way to manually download and install the ABBYY OCR plugin into DevonThink Pro Office. As of this writing, I couldn’t find any article on DevonTechnologies’ support site to fix this issue and Google couldn’t find them either. If this keeps failing, then you’ve got a real problem in your hands. If the download fails mid-way, DevonThink will just try to re-download the entire package again. Unfortunately the process of installing it doesn’t always go smoothly. The first time you try converting an image to a searchable PDF, DevonThink asks you to download this component. This is because it’s really an add-on module that was developed by a separate company: ABBYY, one of the renowned experts in OCR. However DevonThink Pro Office’s OCR capability comes as a separate download. This Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature converts images to text and then DevonThink lays it out over the original scanned image so that you don’t lose any formatting yet the computer has its textual form that it indexes and you can search for text inside it. A major selling point of DevonThink Pro Office over its less-featured editions is the ability to create searchable documents from scans.
