"Save PDF to Evernote" creates blank note


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is related to the various problems reported about clipping PDFs in Firefox. I use Opera for my main browser, and anytime I'm viewing a PDF in it, there is an option at the bottom right to "Save PDF to Evernote." Selecting this opens the Web clipper, with its usual options, and it seems to operate. But the result is always a new note with the title of the PDF, but no content. Anybody else seeing this?

Are you checking immediately after the clip?  My experience is that the content appears 'after a while' - varying from a few minutes to whenever I next look.  Not seen any missed altogether -yet- but I assume you can always get the URL from the note information?  (I use a selection of browsers,  depending on which one annoyed me last)

Thanks, I'll try waiting longer.

After more than 25 hours, still nothing. I take it that you're able to use this, @gazumped? It shouldn't matter, but what browser are you using?

Sorry for the s-l-o-w response,  but I started trying browsers and clip/ copy methods to try and break something.  As far as I can tell,  everything works for me using Chrome browsers - Edge / Brave / Vivaldi.. haven't tried Firefox yet.

Thanks. Opera is Chromium-based. I seem to remember seeing here that PDF saving doesn't work at all in Firefox, which is, you know, all about the security, not so much the functions.
