I discovered this the other night and it made my life a small hell for a few hours.
I will sometimes scan a whole bunch of documents (unrelated to each other) with a Fujitsu ScanSnap + OCR, creating a single PDF+Text file.
My work flow currently involves going through this single PDF file and SPLITTING it repeatedly until they are all in their separate files.
Sometimes, I accidentally hit INSERT BLANK PAGE because it is next to the SPLIT DOCUMENT in the contextual menu.
My natural reaction is to UNDO this by hitting CMD + Z instead of deleting the blank page… But this DOESN’T WORK!
What actually happens is that ALL the pages in that document disappear, leaving a single blank page. It seems that the pages are gone forever.
Thankfully I have ScanSnap manager create duplicates of everything it scans; located in a folder I call “ScanSnap Repository”. But it was still a nightmare because it happened on the very first split of the document and I had no idea which pages DevonThink Pro Office had seemingly destroyed…
The caution has made my workflow THAT much slower.
Serious fix required?
Regards,
Howard
