Auto Naming of notes

[aeg2014 0]

I most frequently use EN to hold PDF's.

Is there a way to have EN 'name the 'note' that I am creating the name of the PDF automatically?

For example, I scan a document to my desktop and name it 'Receipt for Screwdriver', then I create a new note and attach that PDF.  Now I have to go to the title and RETYPE the name "Receipt for Screwdriver'.

Seems silly and wasteful.

Thoughts?

If you create an Import Folder on your desktop and move new files there,  Evernote will use the filename as the title of the note it creates.

@gazumped suggestion is great. Otherwise the following will create a new note containing your pdf  with the title being the title of the pdf (without the "pdf" extension)

• Drag the pdf into the note list area of EN. If you are in a notebook it will place the new note in that notebook. If you are not (e.g Notes or a search)  it will prompt you for a notebook
• On Windows (I assume Mac has something similar) right click the pdf file and choose send to Evernote (you might need to look in "show more options" in Windows 11). It will go into your default notebook.
