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:

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:

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:

For the selected document, DEVONthink will attempt to determine if it contains links. 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 top section of the Links view displays a list of any outgoing links, i.e., links to other files, websites, etc. The bottom Incoming Links view shows incoming links, i.e., links in other files to the current document.

Select a link in the list to show it in the view/edit pane. Double-click a link to open it in a document window or an external application. Option-click or Shift-Option-click a link to open it in a new tab. Opening the contextual menu in the Link list offers the following options:

In the Incoming Links section, the contextual menu has an extra command: Copy Name. Use this to copy the name of a linked file and paste it into another document as a WikiLink.

This inspector is similar to the Incoming Links pane of the Links inspector, however it lists all mentions - linked or not- in a selected document. Mentions are content matches in other documents, based name or alias of of the selected item. This inspector can be useful both for writing and researching to view mentions, especially for those not using automatic Wiki linking. Finally, unlike the incoming links inspector, this inspector supports mentions in any document type, e.g., PDFs.

Selecting a mention shows a summary of the occurrences in the lower pane. Documents with mentions can be opened via a double-click or the contextual menu or revealed. Also there are some copy functions in the contextual menu: Copy copies the item link, Copy Name copies the file's name, and Copy Summary copies the summary for the selected document..
