I've discovered that capturing a section of a PDF and syncing makes the text in that section searchable, thanks to the text recognition software on Evernote's servers. The words for which I search actually light up in the image/pdf snapshot. Yeah! But it doesn't seem to be possible to actually access that converted text for quoting purposes. That text seems to reside on the servers and isn't exported to personal Evernote accounts. When I try to cut and paste from the image/pdf, it's just acts as a solid image. I'd be cutting and pasting the entire image, not text that I could manipulate to change, font, size, style etc.
Would love to actually see Evernote generate a real text version of the converted text! Any chance of this happening?
