Roverandom 1 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 How can I copy or move a PDF from one note to another. Also, is there a way to use the web clipper to add a PDF to an existing note? Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,835 Posted August 4, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted August 4, 2023 On desktop: Open one of the notes in a new window. Pick up the pdf in one note with the mouse, move it and drop it. On my Mac this works best when I click on the grey title header and first move the mouse only a little. After a moment the attachment shows as a little EN icon, attached to the mouse pointer. Then it can be moved and dropped. The Web Clipper can’t add to an existing note. You can move content over as described above. You can as well first clip, creating several notes. Then select the notes and merge them. Link to comment
Roverandom 1 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Thanks for the advise. When I do this on my Mac as you described it, I see the little EN icon, but when I try to drop the PDF on a note in the sidebar, I see this: "Drop files to create a note with attachments". When I drop the PDF, it does exactly what it says: It creates a new note with my PDF as an attachment. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,835 Posted August 4, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Open either the target note or the source note in an own window. Drag & drop from one window to the other. If you read my post above, you see that this is what I described. Link to comment
Roverandom 1 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 You are right, I overlooked this. And it works, but there is room for improvement there. For now it works for me. Thanks for the help. 1 Link to comment
