When I switched I did do an export of my at-the-time in progress Paperless docs and try to get some of the metadata out. If I recall correctly it involved the metadata from Paperless being stored in each PDFs key words (I think that’s what they’re called) and extracting that using scripting to get it into Custom Metadata with a TON of help from people here on this forum.
I still have about 4 years of Paperless libraries, that I never bothered with at the time, for old financial information, that would be great to turn into DevonThink databases.
Not crucial as they’re on the way to becoming older than the required record retention limit. But it would be nice to have the personal information hidden in there available to the great DevonThink search.
I’ll follow this thread in case anyone who knows how to get stuff converted.
