I’d like to send a pdf file from DTG to iAnnotatePDF or GoodReader, edit it, then send it back to DTG, automatically replacing the old, unedited file.
It seemed to me like the last time I did this it was virtually automatic. Yet I find that when I close the file in the editing program, it is not sent back. In GoodReader, I can send the edited file to DTG but then, of course, it makes a separate file in DTG with a filename which is (I assume) the UID.
This is not what I want. I want it to be sent back and replace the original while keeping the original filename - which I would have sworn I could do.
Could you post the exact steps you used? I tried this recently with GoodReader and it seemed to work as expected.
However, I did find that if I had previously sent a PDF to GoodReader, then sent it to GoodReader again, a copy was created in GoodReader (with the name ’ 2.pdf’). Sending this copy back to DEVONthink To Go created a new document instead of overwriting the original.
I have, in fact, been playing around since I posted this trying to figure it out. After some time, I found exactly what you mentioned. iAnnotatePDF (and presumably GoodReader) works as expected if I send it one round trip, once from DTG to iA and once back. Sending it another round trip or just sending it again from iA to DTG reproduced the behavior I described for GoodReader and created a document in DTG with the UUID as the name. The only way to send the document round trip more than once was to delete the initial export from iA’s library.
