Hi,

After upgrading to Lion, the save PDF to evernote option in the Print Dialog box is gone. If this is not a known limitation for Evernote for Lion, is there a way I can restore it?

Thanks,
Prashant.

What version of Evernote are you using? Is it from the App Store or downloaded from the Evernote site?

[prashantp76]

The version I am using is Version 3.0.2 (195738), and it was purchased from the App Store after upgrading to Lion back in July. I have had the issue ever since.

Do you mean the option in the print dialog to print a PDF to Evernote from an application OUTSIDE of Evernote?

If so, that's still available (at least on my Lion installation). You just need to select the target in the selection box you see after you press the PDF button at the lower left of the print dialog.

But that's my problem, the option under PDF doesn't exist, and I want to know how to have it there. Should I try reinstalling Evernote?

[jmpsfs]

When I print anything and press the PDF button at the lower left, I'm presented with a menu of options. At the bottom (which sometimes requires scrolling down), I have the choice to "Edit Menu." Click that and you SHOULD be presented with a choice of destinations for the print job. You should be able to press the + button and add Evernote.

Sadly, they seem to have forgotten that the clipping feature is the primary way in which people interact with the system.

I am experiencing the same problem. When I tried to add Evernote using the "Edit Menu" option the result is that when you click on Evernote in the menu it just opens Evernote. It does not save the page to Evernote. Granted the clipping feature is available, but after having the ability built into the print function, it would not be the first thing one would think of. Also adding the infomation as a PDF to Evernote allows more flexibility. I hope that Evernote and Apple are able to fix this oversight.

Hello. I just reloaded Lion from scratch last night, got all the OS updates, then installed Evernote (latest version). Now I am having the same problem everyone else has mentioned - when I go to print, and I choose the PDF drop-down, there it no PDF to Evernote option like I had before I reinstalled Lion and Evernote.

Can someone please explain how to get this back?

Thanks.

The loss of this feature was evidently caused by Evernote in response to requirements for putting EN in the Apple Mac Store.
See Evernote Blog for details.

As suggested in other threads, here are some options to restore "Save PDF to Evernote":


OPTION #1: CREATE A NEW EN ALIAS

manually drill down into your ~/Library/PDF Services/ folder (which Apple has hidden in their latest OS release, so you'll have to know how to un-hide it), and then manually create an alias to Evernote.app


OPTION #2: INSTALL AN OLDER VER OF EN THEN UPGRADE

Cheat a little.... Grab an older version from here and then upgrade through the app

You just need to edit the menu PDF menu and add a link to the evernote in the application folder.

I just tried what jmpsfs suggested and it worked flawlessly. Went into the print dialog of Powerpoint for Mac, pdf menu, edit menu, clicked the "+", went to applications and found Evernote. It immediately created a new note in Evernote with a pdf of the powerpoint doc. FYI I am a new Evernote user and new Mac user with latest versions of Evernote and Lion installed.

If you want the non-Mac App Store version of Evernote that is the current release (which has the built-in functionality of 'Save PDF to Evernote' in the PDF Print dialogue in Mac OSX Lion), you can still download it from their site. Go to Evernote.com, then click on the link that says 'Get Evernote for mobile, tablet and other devices'. A pop-up appears, and if you click on the 'Computers' side > Mac OSX, it will download the .dmg for install. You can see a screenshot the download link here...

Cheers,
Jared

I used to be able to do this with no problems...but now, when I choose Cmd P, print pdf to evernote, it goes through the motions as in showing number of pages it's printing, but it doesn't show up in Evernote.

I'm quite a newbie, so not sure what other information to provide that would help...other than have just recently gone through a Lion reinstall.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Version 3.1.0 (246062

Hey Willi, welcome to the forums.

There are several threads that might answer your question. In the upper right corner type "print pdf" into the search box and you'll see the links. Look through those and if you are still having difficulty post back on this thread.

Hello...

Tried to find the answer to my problem, but to no avail. I do think perhaps in reading the other posts that some further information might shed some light on this.

I have recently re-installed Lion. I believe that I had previously downloaded EN from their site, but I see that it is the one app that I have downloaded from the Mac App Store now, which perhaps I did on the re-install forgetting that I had purchased from their site. I checked the version and it now says 3.1.2. I'm not sure if this 'cross-over' between purchasing from the App Store and EN directly might have a bearing on my issue.

In any event, to be more precise, the problem I am experiencing is with printing a PDF which I received via Mail, which opens in Preview. I do get the 'Save PDF to Evernote' under the PDF button of the Print function, and as i mentioned previously once I choose that option for saving to EN, it goes through the counting of pages etc. as if it is going to save, but nothing shows up in EN.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

[deanouellette]

You say this is in preview. If you open PDF in a PDF program and try does it do the same thing or just from preview?

[willi]

Oh my...

I wasn't sure exactly what you were saying , so I right clicked the Mail attachment and there it sat "Open with Evernote". Worked perfectly!

Thanks for the 'push'!
