putigers 0 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I am trying to annotate .pdfs in Evernote for iOS using an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro. When I try to write using the pen tool, it continually ""snaps to shape" my handwriting and won't accept my strokes as written. I use evernote for work and often mark up contracts and other documents, and so being able to write on .pdfs with some degree of precision is a critical function for me. I now have to use iAnnotate to mark up .pdfs and then import into Evernote, which kind of defeats the purpose, so I am considering switching to OneNote, which isn't perfect but doesn't have this problem. Please let me know if there's a way to stop this from happening. I have found the "snap to shape" setting and turned it off, which doesn't help the issue. Thank you. Link to comment
Fred02 0 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Just trying to highlight text in note with the apple pen seems a nightmare where you have to keep selecting highlight color for every selection- cumbersome and counterintuitive do you have any solution ? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 7,916 Posted October 22, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted October 22, 2022 You are posting in a thread that was abandoned for 4 years. It was started when the old clients were the current ones. You see how this subforum is titled. Since October 2020 we have new clients. Please open a new thread in the subforum for the current clients. And just to mention it: The new mobile clients are not optimized for pencil use. Annotation of pdfs works pretty well (except zoom is still broken on iPads), note annotation is not made with a pencil in mind. Link to comment
