TonyLim 50 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 When I add a pdf to Evernote, using the mobile (iOS) app share/add to Evernote, the pdf does not display in Windows Evernote pdf viewer. It is shown as an attachment. It display well in pdf viewer/thumbnails in iOS Evernote and Android Evernote though. How can I get it displayed in pdf viewer in Windows Evernote? Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted March 16, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Go to Tools menu, then Options > Note, and under Note view options, be sure Always show PDF documents as attachments is unchecked. Link to comment
TonyLim 50 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 Thanks. It is unchecked. In fact, most, if not all, of my pdf are displayed in Windows Evernote pdf viewer. Only those added directly by Mobile app. I have some new observations. If I do the Share/Add from the mobile app to Evernote, the pdf will not display in Windows Evernote pdf viewer. If I do a save as pdf from the mobile app, then use Evernote to add the pdf. It will display in Windows Evernote pdf viewer. For now, I just have to do the additional step of saving as pdf onto my iPhone storage first, before manually use Evernote to add the saved pdf. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,758 Posted March 23, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It is the same in the EN Mac client. PDFs saved directly by "share to" in an iOS client will show as attachment, other pdfs (including those from my ScannerPro app on the iPhone) show in full document view. When clicked on the button in the header, the pdf will open. Previews are generated for both, which is more important to me than whether the pdf opens together with the note. Link to comment
