Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted February 10, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted February 10, 2013 is it possible to import text from pdf to evernote with a single click ?? thx in advanceHi. Welcome to the forums! No, it is not possible to do it with a single click. However, it is pretty easy. If you are on Mac, then you can batch process multiple PDFs at once using Automator (Get Specified Finder Items > Extract PDF Text) and then drag those text files into Evernote, thereby creating one note per text file. This works extremely well. If you are just talking about a single PDF, you can just save it as a text file and then drag it into Evernote. Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted February 12, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted February 12, 2013 I imagine GM is referring to the 'Save As' option in the File menu - depending on your choice of PDF software you may also have various Export options which may help.. Link to comment
Level 5 Martin Packer 162 Posted February 12, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Someone once posted a way to get a specific Mac folder set up so its contents always got pulled into Evernote. That might be the place to put the automatically extracted text files. Link to comment
