![]() ![]() I am a sucker for aesthetics, and LT does not quite cut it. Small: The UI/UX, outside of the pinch pages, is not all that pleasing. It is REALLY cool to be able to draw connections and have a free form workspace. For free, you get what you pay for.)Īs an update, I have moved beyond LiquitText for one big reason and one small reason.īig: As mentioned by the LT workspace to the side of your PDF document is proprietary and not transferable (and is a part of premium purchase). DEVONthink to Go is a handy bucket / filing cabinet, and not much else. I only use MarginNote for this, if I have multiple documents in a set of annotations, or LiquidText if I want to use LT’s graphical features. (Personally, I think doing any kind of studious annotation in DEVONthink to Go is a horrible experience. I think you also need to own the premium version of LT … not sure about that part. If for instance you dragged text out of a PDF in the LT workspace, than appended comments to that text – that sort of LT-specific annotation will probably be lost. Limitations: LT has annotation features that cannot be stored back to a PDF document. LT will ask if you want to “Send your annotations back to your original source PDF file”. When finished, click the “Home” icon in the upper left corner of the LT display. Click it to open the document in Liquid text. Starting at the top level of DEVONthink to Go, navigate down to the database and group where your document is. At the top level of this, make sure DEVONthink to Go is “Source”. That will bring up the iOS/iPadOS Files interface. In Liquid Text on an iPad, in the Open Document panel in the left sidebar, choose “Open File”. Is that what I want, rather than trying to Open In LiquidText, which is not an option… Is this going to happen? Or will there be workarounds required?įor example, having now downloaded LiquidText, when I tap the Share icon in DTTG, the only option relating to LiquidText is ‘Copy to LiquidText’. This leaves me with the question: do the changes I make in LT show up completely in DTTG and DT3 on my Mac? Obviously, it will be lovely to have a MacOS version LiquidText, but right now, I just want to read, highlight, annotate (handwritten) and see that in DT3 and DTTG. I assume that I simply select the Share button and then Open In? Workflow is my concern, and may have answered most of this already, but what I want to know is how I get from a DTTG document into the annotating and reading space in LiquidText. There are ways round it, sure, but LiquidText interests me as a reading and annotating tool, but also I would like to explore its other unique features. I don’t much like the reading frame as the bar at the top, and lack of full-screen view, unnecessarily minimise the page. Therefore, I have downloaded DTTG onto my iPad Mini. ![]() I’ve just bought an iPad Mini for reading articles and other material, and an Apple Pencil to highlight and annotate. I have been using DT3 (and its predecessor) for the last year or so. I am a PhD Fellow researching international law and emergent technologies, among other things. ![]()
