Phil2656 17 Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 In the past, we had the option to take a picture or to scan a document as pdf. The pdf option is not there anymore. Is it my device ( Pixel 6) or due to the new Android version?
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,077 Posted January 13, 2022 Evernote Expert Posted January 13, 2022 You might find using a dedicated PDF creator to be more effective. O use CamScanner which creates better quality PDFs than Evernote. I then just share to EN.
Phil2656 17 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Posted January 13, 2022 Thank you agreele. I can use also the free scanner that is part of the Google app Stack. It does a decent job too. Do you know why this function has disappeared in Evernote?
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,077 Posted January 13, 2022 Evernote Expert Posted January 13, 2022 I have no idea. Perhaps there were licensing issues with the PDF conversion software.
Phil2656 17 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Posted January 13, 2022 Is it my device only or did you notice this problem too?
Level 5 PinkElephant 9,017 Posted January 14, 2022 Level 5 Posted January 14, 2022 The scanner build into the app produces single paged clips saving as picture files. With EN tools pdfs can be created by using the Scannable app (not sure if it exists on Android as well). In my opinion better results are achieved by using real scanning apps. But for a quick grab of a page or two, the EN scanner for me does the job. 1

Phil2656 17 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Posted January 14, 2022 PinkElephant:Where do you find the EN scanner you are talking about? It doesn't exist anymore on Android
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,077 Posted January 14, 2022 Evernote Expert Posted January 14, 2022 It is the Camera button when you tap on the New note button. It isn't a scanner - it is a camera... As @PinkElephant says, it will grab an quick image of a document which is adequate when you need a quick and dirty result. If you want a PDF then use a scanning app as we discussed already.
Phil2656 17 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Posted January 14, 2022 Thank you for the clarification agsteele.
Level 5 PinkElephant 9,017 Posted January 14, 2022 Level 5 Posted January 14, 2022 Probably Scannable is only available for iOS devices.
Phil2656 17 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Posted January 14, 2022 I wonder why they make this function disappear on Android on the new version of Evernote and cannot find any information about this.
