Clipping from iPhone - am I doing it right?

[tlrahman]

Hi all,

Just getting started with DEVONthink to go. I’ve synced to drop box on both my computer and my phone. The process of getting a pdf from the phone seems a bit laborious, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. These are the steps I take:

1. Clip to DEVONthink as a web archive from my phone (no PDF option)
2. Move the article from the Global Inbox to a desired folder on my phone

6. Delete web archive

Just wondering if there’s a better way to do this?

Much appreciated!
