On my iPad, I could scan a document with Scanbot and then use the DEVONthink extension to dump the scan in the app.Īfter scanning, I could annotate the resulting PDF in DEVONthink to Go 2 with my Premium in-app purchase that also gave me on-demand sync and support for email messages and other document types.Įditing a RTF file in DEVONthink to Go 2 is just as straightforward as on the Mac. You also have the ability to scan documents for storage in the database, but not in the way you’re used to from the Mac. For example, you can create and edit files in DEVONthink to Go 2 just as in its Mac counterpart. Its icons, buttons and settings are kept at a minimum, without sacrificing functionality.

The on demand sync feature, although an in-app purchase, is recommended.ĭEVONthink to Go 2 has a well designed interface. An iOS device usually has limited storage on board, so how do you manage large databases with often big chunks of content that users want to have access to instantly? The answer is a clever on demand system that uses Bonjour and/or a cloud service like box.com to synchronise databases between DEVONthink to Go 2 and DEVONthink on the Mac. While DEVONthink to Go 2 is a richly featured app itself, it really shines when used in sync with the Pro version on the Mac.ĭEVONtechnologies encountered a serious problem when they developed DEVONthink to Go 2. While DEVONthink Pro and Pro Office need a computer, DEVONtechnologies actually developed a complete eco-system with DEVONthink to Go 2 as the iOS app that synchronises with your computer-based DEVONthink Pro databases. You can use these apps to do anything you use a freeform database for - from desk research to the atcual structuring and writing of a book.

$ mv Abbyy/ "~/Library/Application Support/DEVONThink Pro 2/" You can do this with a few Terminal commands: Rename that to just Abbyy and it to to DevonThink’s application support directory in “ ~/Library/Application Support/DevonThink Pro 2“. 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.

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 2 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.
