PDF-Export and drag and drop doesn`t work?

[Dirk von Teichman 0]

Hi there,

Unfortunately, exporting one or more PDF files no longer works. The drag-and-drop function also no longer works. What am I doing wrong? I can drag a PDF file into my notebook, but I can't get the PDF file back onto my desk!

For dragging the pdf from Evernote back to your desktop... it looks like you are trying to drag the whole note (from the list) and not just the PDF attachment from the Editor/Note.

Yes, looks like a Note was dragged.

When trying to drag an attachment, first click on it. It’s border changes to blue, signaling it is now selected. Then drag it wherever you want.

This works on a Mac. I think from other posts on Windows you still need to drop it to the desktop first.

I wish this were true. Over the past week or so, I have been unable to drag any attachment from Evernote on my Mac to another app or even to the finder. The type of attachment doesn't seem to matter: DOC, PDF, JPG... Even if I click, wait until it's blue, etc.

Any one else having this problem?

Works just fine for me. I just dragged-and-dropped that image above into the browser from an Evernote note. Could also drag and drop onto the Desktop just fine. Could drag and drop a pdf attachment onto the Desktop (and other locations in Finder as well).

Yes, Yes, I am. I scan multiple documents and have been able to drag & drop them into each other without issue until about a week ago.  Very annoying!!

I might have been on a slightly older version of Evernote that didn't have the issue recently mentioned. I'm on a different computer at the moment and can't tell for sure. But the release notes for the latest version of Evernote (released just a few hours ago) has this in the release notes:
