Print: Save PDF to DEVONthink 3 no longer works in Vivaldi

DEVONthink
1

When I print a page from Vivaldi using PDF > Save PDF to DEVONthink 3, the PDF no longer appears in my global Inbox.

If I save the PDF to a file from the Print dialog, and save it directly to the global Inbox in the Finder sidebar, the PDF does not appear in my global Inbox.

If I save the PDF to the desktop, then drag it to the same Inbox in the Finder sidebar, it does appear in my global Inbox.

I’ve tried removing the PDF Service and reinstalling it from the Install Add-Ons menu. I’ve tried doing the same with the Finder’s sidebar link to the Inbox. But nothing works.

DT3 has full disk access, and Settings > Files > Import > Destination is set to Global Inbox (if I change this to Select Group, the group selector does not appear when I try to print to DT3).

I’m on macOS 15.7.2 (24G325) with no plans to move to Tahoe until upgrades are available for everything I’m using, but it looks like there is an issue with Vivaldi, as printing works from Firefox. Unfortunately, switching my main browser isn’t really an option. Have any other Vivaldi users run into this and found a workaround?

Have you run a search in Finder to see if the saved files are unexpectedly turning up in a different folder for some reason? That would be my first troubleshooting step, as we don’t know if the files aren’t saving at all or are just going to the wrong place.

Yes — I created a smart folder to show files created in the last day, and they didn’t show there.

I was also sure that I’d included that in my original post, but it must have been in an earlier draft and got lost in the editing process :slightly_smiling_face:

May I ask why?

Also, printing to PDF from Vivaldi isn’t working with more than DEVONthink. Printing to iCloud Drive did nothing. Printing to Bookends didn’t launch the app. Send in Mail did nothing.

So the issue is not with DEVONthink.

Ah, in that case, I’ll file the issue with Vivaldi. Thanks!

I don’t want to switch my main browser because most don’t offer the customisation options that Vivaldi does. I have it set up how I like it, and it’s a nightmare any time I have to try and get Chromium to understand proper tab handling (when I click a link in an email, open a new tab immediately to the right of the current tab, not at the end of the tab bar; when I close a tab, switch to the tab that was immediately to the left of it, not to the right). Vivaldi just… gives you settings to control that.
