ed-2 0 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've got a lot of documents with art that I want to upload to Evernote. The documents are a form that shows a product design, along with product info (i.e. product name, SKU, UPC #, etc).I've already uploaded some test documents in both JPG and PDF (*already* run through OCR) to Evernote, and the search function works beautifully. There's one "hitch" though. Using Evernote's web interface, if I do a search, and one of the results is a JPG, clicking on the note shows the JPG on the Note details panel. Great! However, if the result is a PDF, clicking on the note shows the paperclip attachment link to the PDF, and I have to go through one extra step of clicking on it to see the actual PDF. This could really slow me down if there are a lot of search results.So why don't I simply stick with JPG? Future flexibility. If for whatever reason, I one day decide to use another way of organizing these files, it seems that a OCR'd PDF would give me a lot more flexibility. After all, I could even stick all the PDFs in a folder and use my built-in OS search tool.Is there some way of getting the best of both worlds? Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted January 5, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi. Welcome to the forums. I suppose there are a lot of options. JPG > PDF > OCR > Extract text > Paste text and JPG into a note. JPG + PDFJPG > PDF > OCR > Extract text > Paste text + link to JPG in another location (local or web service). Link to comment
ed-2 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks GrumpyMonkey. It seems like I should stick with JPG as the starting point. It didn't occur to me that it's a cinch to "convert" a JPG to a PDF.I guess I should research some workflow tools to extract text from PDFs. Link to comment

Automator does a nice job extracting text using Get Specified Finder Items > Extract PDF Text. Link to comment
Cristiano 1 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 So basically getting the best would mean having both formats online right?You can always convert one to another you know... (use anything ( e.g. http://convertjpgpdf.net/ )Im still curious to how this works though and why you dont stick to you though :/ Link to comment
