Len15 12 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I have 100's of PDF attachments and none of them are opening. Double-click, Right-click and select open. Nothing. On a Windows 10 machine. I just installed an SSD drive and copied the contents of my old SATA C drive on to the SSD. But I think they were opening after we did that. I am on version 10.27.5 Can I find the individual PDF's somewhere under Programs/Data. Or are they all rolled up into the one big Evernote data file? Link to comment
Len15 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 And I just tried the Right-click, edit and anontate option and it opened in a Paint-like program (which I have never used). So they can open but not as a PDF in Adobe Acrobat. I have Adobe Acrobat DC Link to comment

Len15 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Yes it is Gazumped. Link to comment
Len15 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 You know the email clipper in my Gmail extension disappeared a day or two ago. I still have the web clipper icon, but no email clipper. So I am going to try an uninstall and re-install. I will let you know if that solves either of these problems Link to comment
Len15 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Here is another clue - I went to the web app and when I clicked on PDF attachment it downloaded and opened it instantly. So there is something going on with the desktop app. I will re & re and see what that does. 1 Link to comment

Just now, Len15 said: So I am going to try an uninstall and re-install. OK - when you do uninstall, please check that the %AppData%\Evernote and %LocalAppData%\Programs\Evernote directories are gone after the uninstall process is complete. I think what happened is that installing the new HDD somehow disturbed Evernote's setup. Hopefully a refresh will resolve that. Good Luck! Link to comment

Check that the PDF filenames have the PDF file suffix. There's was a period when they disappeared and that broke the automatic file opening process. Link to comment
Len15 12 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks. AG. I will have a look at that other thread and also confirm that the files have the .pdf suffix. Will keep you posted Link to comment
