Matthew Wimer 4 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I have a PDF I've been annotating some note on using my iPad. It's kinda clunky, but workable. I made a note in the upper left hand margin with an arrow pointing to a specific spot in the paragraph, then saved the annotation. From then on, my single-page PDF has now become a double-paged, so rather than viewing one page at a time as it was originally, it now views two pages side by side. Naturally in an iPad mini, I cannot read the document without zooming in to the original one page view, but the whole PDF is now stuck this way. What is going on? Link to comment

I'm not an iOS user, so no help here as such, but did you ever remove the arrow that you think started this off? I can only imagine that you somehow accidentally inserted some random code that means 'side by side page mode'. Other suggestions would be: copy the file to another note, using 'export PDF' to create a copy file and attaching that to a new note. NB this will affect your upload allowance - if it's a big file you may be better off contacting support directly if you can, or messaging them on Twitter first. Link to comment
Matthew Wimer 4 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 So here's something interesting: I did try removing the arrow, but no help. The text was in the margins, so I figured if I moved it to the middle of the page, maybe it would trigger the algorithm in the other direction. Nope. I opened the pdf on my computer, and it looked fine: single page, text in the middle, no issues. Opened it again on iOS, and still the side-by-side page mode. I decided to remove all the text on the page just to see what would happen, and it put it back to single page mode! Whoo hoo! I put text back on, and it reverted back to side-by-side. Doesn't matter where I put the text on that page (whether margin or middle), it goes to side-by-side. Just for kicks and grins, I put some text on the next page right in the middle. Something told me if I did that, it would change to side-by-side. Sure enough, I put simply "test" in the middle of the page, and it changed to side-by-side. Not sure what the algorithm is looking for, but annotating in the Evernote iOS app may no longer be viable for me. That's a bummer given I'm a premium account. Link to comment
