shekala 56 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 When I take a photo inside Evernote, it seems to always save the file as a png file. Is it possible to save as a pdf instead? Also, is it possible to view a png as an attachment in a note, rather than viewing the entire picture (like in a pdf)? Thanks Link to comment
NoLife 12 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 [Android] When you are saving choose document instead of photo to save as image and pdf. [iOS] Scannable is free and good. there is Scanbot as well but on ios ( for myself can't connect to Eevernote using scanbot on ios only) Link to comment

I use a Mac and iPad/iPhone There is no pdf option for the Evernote camera (Mac/IOS) I use Evernote Scannable to scan my documents. It has a pdf option I also use my Mac to convert notes to pdf >>Also, is it possible to view a png as an attachment in a note, rather than viewing the entire picture (like in a pdf)? No, attachment view is not an option for images (Mac/IOS) Link to comment

Thanks There is an option on the iPhone to save as a document but it does not seem to do anything differently. If you are truly scanning documents you could use Scannable. Workaround could be to drag the jpg into a blank PDF document and save that. Yuck, but it would work. If Windows go to Tools - Options - Note and check Allow images displayed as attachments.

shekala 56 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 I did try that, and you are correct that it doesn't do anything. So, I decided just to use Scanner Pro - it scans as a pdf and saves directly into Evernote. Thanks to everyone that responded. I guess sometimes the best solution is a third party. Link to comment

You are welcome. To be clear, Scannable is an EN product. Clueless as to how it compares to Scanner Pro. Link to comment
shekala 56 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yep, I am aware it is, which is part of the reason I went with another app - seems like Evernote has stopped supporting so many of their extra products, so I suspect a company dedicated to scanning would be best. Just not clear to me where Evernote is headed at this point. i have been a loyal user for ten years, but my confidence in their future is much less these days. Link to comment

I found the two products comparable in quality/features Scanner Pro can also OCR the pdf Link to comment

Scannable seems to be in the fold, but yeah, haven't really seen a statement from EN that says these are our core products. Scannable was last updated November 2016 best I can tell. Good to know there is a viable alternative. Link to comment
