PDF scanning not anymore possible

[Phil2656 17]

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?

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.

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?

I have no idea. Perhaps there were licensing issues with the PDF conversion software.

Is it my device only or did you notice this problem too?

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.

PinkElephant:Where do you find the EN scanner you are talking about? It doesn't exist anymore on Android

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.

Thank you for the clarification agsteele.

Probably Scannable is only available for iOS devices.

I wonder why they make this function disappear on Android on the new version of Evernote and cannot find any information about this.
