MatthewIcebox 0 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I found Evernote’s pdf annotation features to be limited on the iPad so I’ve been annotating pdf’s using iOS itself (just click on the pdf and use the annotation tools iOS provides). However, when I try to attached an annotated pdf file, at first it looks like it’s attached but as soon as I click anywhere else in the note I get “Unable to upload” error. I do not get this error when I upload an unannotated pdf. I’ve tried re-saving the annotated pdf as well as compressing then in-compressing but no luck. It shows as a pdf document the same as an unannotated file, according to iOS. I have the personal plan and I’m on an iPad with iOS 17.1.1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,776 Posted November 29, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I couldn‘t reproduce this report. I took a pdf from a note, and downloaded it. Then I went to the Files app, opened the file and picked the annotation tools from the head bar. I annotated, then closed the file and saw it sync with my iCloud Drive. I then send the file into EN by sharing. It opened just fine, including all annotations I had applied. The same happened with a pdf I annotated first, and the shared into EN. No corruption, just opening OK, with annotations. The only idea I have how a corruption may happen is when the file is shared into EN when the sync with iCloud is still ongoing. This possibly causes a collision between the two operations on the file, that may corrupt it. But this should be an exception. Link to comment
MatthewIcebox 0 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 I played with this some more and am seeing this behavior: If I create a new note in a new, unshared notebook, I have no problem attaching an annotated PDF. However, if I create a note in a shared notebook, I repeatedly get an issue when trying to attach an annotated PDF. I’m not sure if the sharing is the issue or if the notebook is corrupted/different in some other way. The sharing is the only thing that looks different to me. Link to comment

MatthewIcebox 0 Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Shared by me with another user. I don’t know if they have made any changes on any of the notes. Link to comment
