(Archived) pdf display in online notebook

[ATHiker95 1]

When I scan something to a pdf, it shows up in my desktop Evernote so that I don't have to open it in Preview. I see the complete document in the desktop version. When I go online, all I see is an icon for the pdf file. Is there a reason that I'm not seeing the actual doc itself?

Thanks,

Mark

I'm guessing you've got the PDF display preference set to "As Attachment" in the prefs:

Click for large view

Change that to "Inline" and it should do what you want/expect.

Thanks!

No, that is set as "inline" (desktop version preferences) I can view the pdf files inline on the desktop version, but not on the web version. I don't see a preference setting on the Evernote web site to show them "inline". Is that by design?

Thanks,

Oh, ok - I misunderstood.

The web client can't display PDFs in the note preview pane because (as far as I know), it's not possible to render a PDF as part of a larger web page. In other words, the PDF must be rendered and displayed in its own tab/window. I suppose it could be worked around using some type of frame element, but I could be wrong.

Cheers!

in that past year and a half has this changed? It's driving me crazy and I would like to know some kind of work around.
