nigelhanscamp 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm wondering if Evernote handles PDF's differently to JPG's.I want to get some ideas from woodworking magazines into evernote.Will I get better results by taking photos with my iphone or by scanning?Will evernote handle one more cleanly than the other?Cheersnigel Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,138 Posted July 2, 2011 Level 5 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I would recommend scanning to a PDF. You can store multiple magazine pages to the same PDF.Here is some information from Dave Engberg last year:"Our handwriting recognition for JPEG produces a hidden internal search "tree" for the image, which lists a cloud of possibilities for every word-shaped region. This representation isn't very useful for actually extracting the text, it's only good for searching against these clouds within Evernote. However, it's helpful for finding lower-quality images within Evernote.""Our text processing for PDF is basically using best-of-breed OCR software to produce a second PDF document that we internally index. This PDF is more usable for people that want to (e.g.) copy and paste text out of a cleanly scanned document, but doesn't provide a "cloud" of possibilities for each word, which reduces the results for handwritten text noticeably."

nigelhanscamp 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thanks. That makes sense.My scanner only does one page at a time, so I downloaded PDF Suite from the app store, and can now merge, split etc pdfs.Cheers Link to comment
