The Document inspector provides specific information about the current document. This information is presented in three specialized views: a view of RTF and PDF metadata, a list of annotations in a PDF, and a list of links found in certain document types. Properties The Document Properties section gives you access to all metadata stored for selected RTF and PDF documents. This metadata can include some of the following: Author Company Copyright Title Subject Keywords Comments Organization Depending on the document type, you may be able to edit or view these properties. More fields may be available depending on the document type. There are two parameters supporting extra actions: Click the Title button and select Copy, or select Set Name As to quickly change the document's name. Click Keywords and choose Convert to Tags to apply the keywords as DEVONthink tags. Annotations As PDF files are often used in DEVONthink, annotating these documents is commonplace. The Annotations view displays a listing of the annotations in the current document. Each annotation is listed with the following metadata: page number, type, content or author, and the date the annotation was made. In the case of highlights, text, or note annotations, the content will be displayed. With graphic annotations, e.g., rectangle or ovals, the author will be displayed. The list can be sorted by clicking the appropriate header. Select an item in the list to switch to the proper page. The annotation on the page will be selected. This makes it easy to navigate via the document's annotations. At the bottom of the view is a Details section. For Note annotations, this will show the text of the annotation. Details can be added to other annotation types as well, but only supports plain text entries. Opening the contextual menu in the Annotations list offers the following options: Copy: Copies the metadata and any text in the Details to the clipboard as plain text. Copy Page Link: Copies a URL to the clipboard pointing directly to the current page of the document. Delete: Delete the current annotation. Select/Deselect All: Quickly select or deselect the items in the list. Links For the selected document, DEVONthink will attempt to determine if it contains URLs. These may be web URLs, file URLs, item links, and even DEVONthink's WikiLinks. (You may be surprised by the number of links in many documents.) The Links view provides a list of any found links. Select a link in the list to show it in the document. Double-click the link to open it in a document window or an external application. Opening the contextual menu in the Link list offers the following options: Open: Opens the link in an external application. Open in Tabs: Opens the link in a new tab, when possible. Copy: Copies the URL to the clipboard Delete: Deletes the link and the text. Select/Deselect All: Quickly select or deselect the items in the list.
