Trying to annotate pdf

[twocutesnails 0]

I am trying to take notes for my university classes. My prof is giving out powerpoints and i want to add notes over the pdfs. I can't seem to make this work. Any suggestions?

It should work fine. Either right click the pdf and choose "annotate this pdf" or use the pop up mini menu that appears above the pdf when you click on it.

Its definitely a bug in the ne version. I just downloaded it and it crashes my annotations all the time. Especially with the highlighter.  Please Evernote fix this as past as possible. This is by the reason grad students use the app

@ajp17 Thank you for reporting this issue. Would you be able to share the pdf that you are trying to annotate. Also, is annotation breaking for all the pdfs or just one particular pdf?

Did the ability to annotate image files go away too?

I cannot annotate or crop this image in Evernote anymore.

Update on the issue → This is a SVG file, so it looks like I cannot edit that. JPG and PNG seem to be working.

Well this one is a can of worms! In your case it is just the file format but there are other instances where this happens. Normally, for example if you paste in an image from your hard drive, it works fine and you get the pencil edit icon in the pop up above the image.

If you paste an image in from a website it only pastes a link to that image. Look at the size of the note.  One of the implications of this is that you cannot annotate the image because it's not actually there. The other, in my mind even more serious implication, is that if the website changes or deletes the image it will change or delete the image from your note. EN are completely failing to protect the integrity of our data by allowing somebody else, in effect, to edit our notes.

Is anyone having problems annotating their pdfs on their iPad? I don’t see an option to annotate my pdfs ever since I've received the new update. I''ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
