Save to DEVONthink Pro.scpt

This script used to rename the pdf as well as set the name in DP Pro. Now it sets the name in DP Pro, but sets the document name as “print job-#.pdf”. Not cool. How to fix this?

Script follows:

on open these_items
set this_app to (path to «constant afdregfp» as string)
if this_app does not contain “DEVONthink Pro” then
try
set this_file to item 1 of these_items

		tell application this_app
			try
				set this_name to the name of window 1
			on error
				set this_name to ""
			end try
			
			repeat while this_name is ""
				display dialog "Saving to DEVONthink Pro. Please enter a file name:" default answer this_name
				set this_name to the text returned of the result
			end repeat
		end tell
		
		tell application "DEVONthink Pro"
			activate
			if not (exists current database) then error "Please open a database before using this script!"
			set theDestination to display group selector "Destination" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"}
			set theRecord to import this_file to theDestination
			try
				set the name of theRecord to this_name
			on error
				error "Import failed."
			end try
		end tell
		
		try
			if this_app contains "Safari.app" then
				tell application "Safari" to set this_url to the URL of document 1
				tell application "DEVONthink Pro" to set the URL of theRecord to this_url
			else if this_app contains "Mail.app" then
				tell application "Mail"
					set theSelection to the selection
					set this_sender to the sender of item 1 of theSelection
				end tell
				tell application "DEVONthink Pro" to set the URL of theRecord to this_sender
			else
				tell application this_app
					set curr_doc_path to path of document 1
					if (curr_doc_path is not missing value) and (length of curr_doc_path > 1) then
						set doc_url to "file://" & (POSIX path of curr_doc_path)
						tell application "DEVONthink Pro" to set the URL of theRecord to doc_url
					end if
				end tell
			end if
		end try
		
	on error error_message number error_number
		if the error_number is not -128 then
			try
				display alert "DEVONthink Pro" message error_message as warning
			on error number error_number
				if error_number is -1708 then display dialog error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
			end try
		end if
	end try
	tell application this_app to activate
end if

end open

Which application did you use to print to DT Pro? I’ve just checked this in Safari and everything is working as expected.

I’m running OS X 10.4.6 and using Preview 3.0.6 to view and print pdfs.

Probably the window of Preview use the “print-job#.pdf” title and the Print to PDF script uses the name of the window to print.

Therefore using the original application to print to DT Pro is definitely recommended. Also, there’s no need to print already existing PDF documents again - just import/index them.
