Hi All,

I’m a noobie to DEVONthink (using DTPO), and liking it very much so far!

I’ve searched the forums as best I can to figure out how to add PDF files to an RTF document and keep them in icon (or very small) form.

Note: I have assured that “Display PDF attachments of Rich Texts” is unchecked.

I want to be able to drag-and-drop a PDF document into a RTF file, like a numbered list, and have it be as small as possible (like an icon, or even a link) so that I can expand it only as necessary.

Apologies if I’ve missed the obvious, or if there’s simply a better way of approaching this problem in DTPO.

Thanks!
