Is there something that I'm overlooking?Evernote ver 3.0.6OSX ver 10.7.3hi. welcome to the forums! there are two main methods:1. drag the pdf from its location on your hard drive into one of your notebooks (shown on the left side of the screen).2. drag the pdf from its current location on your hard drive into one of your notes (shown on the right side of the screen).see this site for unclear screenshots (dragging into application icon)http://evernote.tumb...account-you-canyou can also use the web interfacehttp://blog.evernote...le-attachments/ Link to comment

I've been dragging it to the wrong part and it kept bouncing back.no worries. it can be difficult to figure the interface out at first. one tip: title your pdfs, perform optical character recognition (if you want it to be immediately searchable), do page flipping, and save annotations before putting things into evernote. you cannot change the title later (on mac), but you can change the content. however, that will require you to upload the entire file each time.

File > Attach Files ...This will allow you to attach one or more files at the same time. Link to comment
evangels 0 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys,I'm running Evernote 3.3.0 and Mac OS X v10.6.8Everytime I try to add PDFs to Evernote, it comes out as an "unnamed attachment 0 bytes" and doesn't even open in the preview.Is this a bug? How do I fix it? Link to comment
jacobotha 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I just started using Evernote (3.3.1 on a mac) and like it a lot. One question I have is if I add existing documents to Evernote, does it make duplicates of the original files somewhere. I have thousands of PDF documents that I want to add to Evernote (previously I used YEP to manage those) but don't want to duplicate everything by adding it to Evernote, so if it does save it somewhere can I safely delete the original documents after I added it?
