0 Level 5 PinkElephant 1,746 Posted January 21 Level 5 Share Posted January 21 Which options do you mean ? If I need to reach options like annotate, save or else, the process works like this (on iOS, but probably Android is similar): Open the note Click on edit (Blue Button) Click on the pdf => It is marked with a blue frame Now above the soft keyboard there are 3 options: An „@„ for annotate, a down arrow for download and 3 dots for further options. Not intuitive, but it works. The options are somewhat reduced compared to legacy (no rotating or deleting of pages, which is useful when scanning directly into EN). What I miss is the possibility to open the pdf in another program, and save it directly back into the notes attachment on closing. The v10 workflow lacks the smoothness of the prior versions.

0 Nicksomename 1 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 My google drive links don't work either. Link to post
0 agsteele 339 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'm not sure what is causing the issue. The Android app (v10.4) works more or less as he describes for iOS. I open the note and select EDIT That presents me with this view which looks like the view you've shown. The giveaway is the blue cross button on the left end of the menu above the keyboard. Then I tap and hold the PDF. Tap and let go just opens the PDF in the Acorbat viewer. Tapping and holding will, after a moment, highlight the PDF and the menu bar will change to show the '@' symbol which is what you select to annotate the PDF. I can't assist with the Google Drive links. Link to post

The inability to open and edit the pdf in another program is what is keeping me stuck with the legacy app. My entire workflow is based on editing pdfs. Unfortunately the option to annotate as currently available on version 10.4 does not even allow me to zoom in. I am really hoping this functionality is brought back soon. Link to post

0 Nicksomename 1 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 I think I found the cause of the bug. It's the table! When the attachment is within the table, the Evernote 10, for some strange reason, cannot identify the pdf. Link to post

I wouldn't mind not being able to use a third-party app to edit pdf if Evernote's annotation was good. But it is not. I can't zoom in on the pdf, to change the page I have to press a button on the left side and select the desired page instead of simply making a swipe gesture. Unfortunately, Evernote's PDF annotation is not practical. Link to post

I will really appreciate a step by step tutorial if you don't mind. I really want to get into v10.4 but this for me is a deal breaker. Link to post

For your problem, which is also one of mine, the only solution I see is to use Google drive links. It turns out that they also don't work properly. However, there is a way to get around this by turning the google drive links into normal links and then selecting the link you want to open, press edit, select the link and press open. This will bring up the drive option. Within the google drive app just choose the app of your choice to open and edit the pdf. This, however, is not a viable option because it is a lot of work just to open a pdf in evernote. It is better to open it directly from the google drive. Link to post
0 niikassim 11 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Thank you very much for taking the time to get back to me. That is quite a long winded way of achieving something they can so easily be done with the legacy app, just long press and edit. I am really hoping the find a solution soon even though I know the developers have tons of really critical bugs they need to work on. Thanks once again. Link to post
0 fredhammersmith 34 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hi. Not able to zoom-in, zoom-out or move around the attached PDF files either. Si annotate them is really difficult. Is it a new bug or the feature won't be available anymore? Link to post
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 1,746 Posted February 1 Level 5 Share Posted February 1 It currently is not available. No preview from EN about their intentions. Personally I think it will return in a future release. Link to post
0 artur03silva 0 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hi, same to me. I can't open pdf files in third-party apps (like Google PDF viewer, Epson Print...) when I touch the pdf file it opens on the evernote app. It's not working for me, because I have some pdf containing several pages, I have to pause and read later, unfortunately the evernote app can't do it. (vi que alguns devem ser brasileiros, se puderem responder em PT pode ser tb. Em resumo, eu não consigo abrir pdf em outros apps, somente dentro do evernote e é muito ruim, se alguém já tiver uma solução pra isso, diz aí pfvr o que deu) Link to post
