adigi157 0 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is there a way to bulk-highlight text in a PDF? I can do it line by line, but this takes forever, even with the "Shift" to highlight a straight line. I'm trying to highlight a whole paragraph, but when in "Annotate Mode" it does not allow you to select a line with your cursor, only annotate with the tools provided. I've searched all over the internet and could not figure this out. It seems that this is not a feature, but please prove me wrong. It's annoying that I have to use a second program to annotate my PDFs then import them into Evernote, as having annotated PDFs with previews is the main reason I went Premium on Evernote. Please Help! Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted September 14, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted September 14, 2018 I don't use Evernote's pdf annotation feature on my Mac; the edit features are too basic I open the note in Preview and do my annotations there, including bulk highlight text Link to comment
adigi157 0 Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 That's what I've been doing. However, Evernote does not then show the "Annotation Summary" since it was not annotated within Evernote. Why are the editing features on Evernote so basic? Link to comment

It's a common complaint; and the belief that the editor is Evernote's core feature. For my purpose, document filing is Evernote's core feature. The editor is the free tool that comes with this service. I do use the editor for basic notes but I don't expect too much from it. I rely on external editors for serious work. Another point is the majority of users are unwilling to fund development on this product; we are the exceptions with our paid accounts. Link to comment
