PDF Archive Viewer

The PDF Archive Viewer shows documents in iCloud Drive. It is a helper of the macOS App PDF Archiver.

📜 Convention

• Date: yyyy-mm-dd Date of the document content.
• Description: --ikea-tradfri-gateway Meaningful description of the document.
• Tags: __bill_ikea_iot Tags which will help you to find the document in your archive. Capital letters, spaces and language specific characters (such as ä, ö, ü, ß) will be removed to maximize the filesystem compatibility.

Your archive will look like this:
