So I ended up with 22GB in the backup file.

It's nice that the evernote-backup program syncs, so that if it fails at any stage (due to internet problem or whatever) you just re-run 'evernote-backup sync' and it goes from where it was.

When I look at the data in the SQL Lite file the title for each note is readable, but the note content is just code so don't expect to look at text or images etc. in the notes.

Anyway it served it's purpose for me and was quite fast. I will need to test recovery to be completely happy.

Hi.  Not being cheeky,  but why?  If you have the app installed on local storage you'll be taking up some space,  but there's a setting not to store data locally which means you'll have a temporary file of current notes only while the app is open.  You can't then work offline.

If you do store locally,  Windows files will be at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Evernote although from version 10.59 onwards you can relocate that store if necessary.  Viewing file on the web app is similar - it downloads a local copy of your searches and edits while the app is open.

If you're looking to extract your files,  you need to export each notebook to an ENEX file,  so again total size (unless it's all one big notebook) is academic.

It's not academic. There are lots of practical reasons why you would want to know the overall library size.

I am about to export everything (about 30000 notes most with attachments and most in one notebook) as a backup using evernote-backup (https://github.com/vzhd1701/evernote-backup) and I'm not sure it will fit on my drive. It would be nice to know before wasting time.

Is this a version 10 problem?

Yes. On Catalina.

I have reinstalled from website and still does not allow Preview editing without file duplication.

Is there a new fix?

After I installed "PDF Expert" I discovered that if I opened PDFs from within Evernote and edited them in PDF Expert (instead of Preview) the changes are saved automatically back to Evernote.

So I guess that is a solution if this is important in your workflow. I haven't tested other PDF editing apps.

Does Evernote really think Apple will fix this?

 

 

I think Evernote should work on a solution that does not depend on waiting for Apple.

Maybe store notes in a different place in MacOS? 

For companies depending on external editing of PDFs embedded in Evernote this is quite inconvenient.

By the way, I have tried upgrading to the latest Beta - I still have the 'locked' PDF issue.

Can you be more specific as to the problem you're having
I don't have a problem editing pdfs; note I'm using the latest software versions

I am on a Mac.

I'm running the latest MacOS (10.12.5) and latest Evernote version (6.11)
I am viewing an Evernote note with an embedded PDF file.
I right-click and choose 'Open' and the embedded PDF opens in the Preview app.
When I go to make a change using Preview tools, 'Edited' appears in the window title and I am essentially working on a new copy. If I close the PDF it will ask where I want to save the file. If I want I can save it and add the new PDF to Evernote manually.

The old behaviour: it just let me change the file in Preview, close it and the changed PDF would replace the one that I opened in Evernote (the expected and preferred behaviour) It had been that way for years and was very useful.

My killer Evernote demo used to include opening a pdf from an Evernote note, editing it, closing it and having it go back into the note in it's new form.

I can't do this anymore. This is very disappointing.
