petercogg 0 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi - is it me, or am I no longer able to annotate PDF docs in EN - the icon seems to be greyed out. Also, I miss being able to see a list of my tags and can't seem to amend them in the new somewhat hidden tags list. Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted January 17, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted January 17, 2017 You should post in the release notes discussion. PDF annotation works for me Correction: Some annotations work, others are blocked Link to comment
Phil Greene 0 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I downloaded the v8 app and upgraded to Premium. I can't annotate pdf's because the @ symbol is greyed out. Any suggestions would be appreciated Link to comment

WRZim 35 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I use PDF annotations all the time in Evernote, but since the update I can't seem to annotate any new PDF files I've added. I can annotate old files that I have already annotated, but when I add new ones the annotate button is greyed out. Any advice for a fix or workaround? Link to comment

DarkWingDK 0 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Exact same problem here... Not able to annotate new PDF files, @-button is grayed out. However notes containing PDFs with annotations made before upgrade to EN 8 can be opened in annotation mode with the @-button. EN8 on iPad Pro 9.7" iOS 10.2 Link to comment
Alex RM 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Same problem here, both on my iphone 6S and my ipad Air 2. This was the fonctionality that made me choose Evernote.... Link to comment
KSchaefer 3 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Same issue here although we use Evernote Business at school. This is over 500 accounts so a lot of $$$$. Students can no longer annotate PDFs. Icon is grayed out. Mission critical! Link to comment
Poopoo Platter 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Add another one to the list.... Link to comment
Vanessa_Wien 6 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have the same issue: I use this feature a lot on my iPad and right now I need really really. Please, help! Link to comment
SwissFred 0 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Same here! Hope they fix it quickly... i can still use the annotation tool in files i annotated previously. Link to comment
IvanPsy 10 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Another one bites the dust: me too! iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6s Plus, iOS and Evernote App with the latest update. Should I shift to Google Drive and annotate with third party Apps, and get back to the Basic plan? I really hope not: Evernote is so handy and useful, and the new layout is fantastic! Link to comment

rpigeon 21 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Same for me. Old PDF can be annotated but not new one Link to comment

They actually do a much better job than Evernote. My favourite tool for note taking and PDF annotation is Notability Sure, I use notes plus, it has great stylus support and allows me to actually write by hand on my PDFs. But this is the number one feature I'd like to see Evernote improve—one of the reasons I pay for the service. Brief annotations so that pages get listed in the annotations section Evernote adds to the top of the PDF is crucial for long documents. Up until the most recent update, Evernote was sufficient enough for highlighting (the drawing tools and lack of stylus support was hopeless though) that the organization aspects outweighed the massive shortcomings in annotating tools. I would so gladly keep paying for Evernote (I have a premium subscription right now) if they had found a way to get PDFs to integrate into notes with annotation tools so that you could just tap on a note from the list and instantly see the PDF contents embedded and get right to work instead of open note > open PDF > open annotation tools (before they broke). The workflow is especially bad on the desktop version. I would gladly trade the new UI and all the new missing features for that one thing. The whole point of Evernote is to have notes with all sorts of stuff in them; images, documents, PDFs, random files Evernote has no chance of recognizing, so it's really sad to see them prioritize quick and simple notes over power user features. Power users are the ones who pay. Link to comment
