		Clipping a Document as a PDF to a Notebook

		You can send a PDF version of a document in another application directly into a Notebook using a Clipping Service.

When printing in another application, the Print sheet’s PDF button contains a Send PDF to NoteBook menu that lists your Clipping Services - choose one, and the Print sheet will send the PDF it generates for the document to that page in your Notebook.

		Creating a New Page for Each Clipping

		When you clip to a note page, NoteBook adds the clipping to the page’s outline. Sometimes it’s convenient to create a separate page to hold each clipping. If you add a Clipping Service to a Divider Page, NoteBook creates a new note page to hold the clipping and adds that page to the Divider each time you clip.

		Editing a Selection Before Clipping

		You can edit a selection before clipping it by choosing NoteBook → Clip and Annotate in NoteBook’s contextual clipping menu. The sheet that appears contains a text area for editing, as well as for giving the clipping a title.

Choose Clip and Annotate... ➊ to display the Clip and Annotate sheet.

		Clipping to Cells in an Outline

		When you clip to a page, NoteBook adds each clipping as a new item at the end of the page’s outline. You can also clip directly to a cell in the outline, so that the clippings become children of that cell. For example, if you have an outline where the top-level cells are categories like “E-mails” and “Web Clippings,” you can add a Clipping Service to each category cell and clip selections directly to those categories.

To add a Clipping Service to a cell, select the cell and choose Outline → Add a Clipping Service. NoteBook adds a Clipping Service Sticker ➊ to each cell with a Clipping Service.

Choosing a cell’s Clipping Service clips the selection and saves it as a child of the cell.

		Adding a Keyboard Shortcut to a Clipping Service

		You can add a keyboard shortcut to any Clipping Service menu item using the Clip pane of the Actions Inspector (Window → Inspector).

		Auto-saving After Clipping

		Because clipping happens in the background, you might want NoteBook to save whenever you clip (otherwise you could lose them if your computer has a problem). Choose this auto-save option in NoteBook’s general preferences.
