I am trying to build a Smart Rule to convert bookmarks I added to DT to PDF.
These are bookmarks to authenticated web sites, for which I did authenticate in DEVONthink. When I click the link, I see the content in the DT browser. When I click the browser gear icon and select Capture > PDF (One Page), the content is saved as expected.
However, if I use the “Convert” action in a Smart Rule, the whole content is not present in the PDF, only the part accessible when not authenticated. It is as if the Smart Rule is not using the cookies/storage of the DT browser, then trying to capture content of the unauthenticated web site.
I read some similar things discussed here, however I am not sure this behavior was completely discussed.
tell application id "DNtp"
try
set theSelection to the selected records
if theSelection is not {} then
set frontMostWindow to think window 1
repeat with theRecord in theSelection
set theName to (name of theRecord) as string
set theURL to (URL of theRecord) as string
set theWindow to open window for record theRecord
repeat while loading of theWindow
delay 1
end repeat
set theData to paginated PDF of theWindow
set thePDF to create record with {name:theName, URL:theURL, type:PDF document} in (location group of theRecord)
set data of thePDF to theData
if theWindow is not the frontMostWindow then close theWindow
end repeat
end if
on error error_message number error_number
if the error_number is not -128 then display alert "DEVONthink" message error_message as warning
end try
end tell
As this uses DEVONthink’s browser, the already authenticated web sites shouldn’t cause any issues.
