robwseattle 7 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My Mac app was just updated. I am shocked that I cannot seem to have my PDF files showing ALL PAGES. It is unbelievable that I have to use the little arrows at the bottom of the page to scroll through the PDF. In past versions I would be able to just scroll down on the note and see all my PDFs easily. I use Evernote 95% for PDF archive. This is terrible if I cannot setup a global setting. I have literally used Evernote since the beginning of the company. If this cannot be changed to a global preference, I really am going to be looking for other options. I have four subscriptions for my family and a number of subscriptions for my business. Not happy at all! I see you simplified the interface on this version, which generally I agree with, but Jesus, you have overdone things! 7 Link to comment
snowy01 3 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I would like an answer to this also. in the one page view it is very hard to read pdfs. i want to use all page view as my default. i dont want to have to click all page view every time. 2 Link to comment
richbits 0 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I don't recall when this changed, but certainly a backward step. It is fine where the pdf fits in one page, but for a standard A4 page on a laptop monitor resizing the page to fit makes it too small to read. Link to comment
BNQuinn 0 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I find this change very frustrating too. Who thought it would be a good idea to limit viewing to the first page? This just doubles the effort of viewing documents whether they be academic papers or bank statements. Please either set back to "all pages" by default or make it a user setting. Please.

robwseattle 7 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Got frustrated again... saw there was a new version of Evernote. Now I can do tasks? WTF? I don't need that. Does anybody? What I do need is a way to change the default view settings for PDFs. It is absolutely unusable to me if I have to view all pages on a PDF by PDF basis. Why can't this be a global setting? One of the stupidest decisions I've seen from a software company in a very long time. FYI- I found I could download "Evernote Legacy". I am now using that since I can get that default PDF view I want. I am really going to start looking for a better app for my needs. I've been a paid subscriber for 12 years. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 7,908 Posted July 28, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 28, 2021 EN v10 only has very little settings, and IMHO for a reason. Settings need to be processed, and each setting adds to the code base of the app. Since it already has a speed issue, further bloating it is probably not a good idea. So you need to click on a pdf before you can see it all, and this makes the app unusable for you. I have to admit our understanding of „unusable“ is divergent. I call it a minor viewing issue, maybe not even a bug because it is designed that way. This does not mean you must like it the way it is. Link to comment
tjhokietiger 9 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 +5 votes for this. Makes it a drag to use for PDFs. Please provide a GLOBAL setting that allows a default view for PDFs (all docs?) to "all pages". 1 Link to comment

Sumyunguy 0 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I am beyond frustrated by this!!! I hate evernote !!!! I want to find a different way to archive my documents . I cannot believe i got roped in to paying for this ***** service. I want to see all of my pdf pages by default!!!!!!! Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 7,908 Posted August 2, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted August 2, 2022 In this case find another service that does it all, plus shows your pdfs in all pages view. AFAIK EN decided to show small attachments in page by page, and large attachments in attachment view to reduce system load. If it would show in „all pages“ as a standard, all attachments (there can be more than only one) would need to be completely loaded when a note is just opened. This means the user has to wait until all pages of all attachments have been properly rendered, even if the user does not want to see any of them at all. In my opinion the current standard viewing option is a good compromise between usability and loading time. Not anybody needs to agree, however. You can contact EN about it by issuing a support ticket. 1 Link to comment

Yep - this is really the only practical thing to do if viewing the whole PDF inline by default is a deal-breaker. EN may add this (back) in the future but there are no guarantees and I advise against banging one's head against the wall too much. Link to comment
