pdf clipper: does it clip?

[CaveatEmptor 0]

I've tried the various clippers.  I'm Mac platform, browser-agnostic: safari, chrome, firefox.

 

I love web clipper, but what is the pdf clipper supposed to do?  Does it always "clip" the entire pdf?  I'd like to be able to clip portions of pdfs and maybe annotate them as notes.  This seems like a reasonable thing to want to do, but I don't see how to do it.  This should be a dumb question, right?  This should be easy?

 

Thanks.

It clips the entire PDF. It is akin to the following workflow:

Navigate to the PDF in your browser,

Download the PDF to your downloads folder

Drag the PDF to a note in Evernote as an attachment. 
 

The clipper just skips a bunch of these steps for you and takes the PDF directly from your browser to the notebook you specify. 

 

There is no built in way to chop up a PDF, that's the domain of PDF authoring software like Adobe Acrobat. 

 

Once  a PDF is in Evernote you can annotate it, and it will create an annotation summary at the top, allowing you to view only the portions you annotate, and clicking on any element in the summary will take you to the actual location in the PDF.
