AppleScript is perfectly suited for integrating different applications, interchanging information, and
creating workflows. DEVONthink Pro Office comes with a number of scripts that copy information
from other applications, like Safari or Mail, to DEVONthink Pro Office. You may use these scripts as a
template for connecting DEVONthink Pro Office to your own applications.
To install these scripts completely automatically, click here or select DEVONthink Pro Office > Install
Add-ons, check Application Scripts and DEVONthink Pro Scripts, and click Install. You access them via
the global script menu extra.
Note: The application-specific scripts (put into sub-folders of "~/Library/Scripts/
Applications") appear only within the application they were designed for (see introduction).
To see them, activate their designated application, e.g., by bringing one of its windows to
the front. The other scripts are located in a sub-menu named "DEVONthink Pro".
DEVONAGENT, CHROME, OMNIWEB, AND SAFARI
These scripts import elements from a displayed web page in Safari, Google Chrome, OmniWeb, Firefox,
Camino, or DEVONagent to DEVONthink Pro Office.

EMAIL APPLICATIONS
Note: DEVONthink Pro Office comes with much advanced email archiving functions. Have
a look at them before using these scripts.
Starting with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard you can drag messages from Apple Mail to DEVONthink Pro
Office to import them. In addition you can use the provided scripts or just transfer selected text to
DEVONthink Pro Office by using the Services menu. DEVONthink Pro Office comes with scripts for
