Thank you PinkElephant. I didn't realize the html export would include the pdf files. Thank you so much!

I wish to download multiple pdf files. I need them to be pdf files in my Mac Finder. When I highlight several and choose "Export to pdf", I only get a file with a single page (see attachment)  that has a list of file names and the top line (gray stripe) of each pdf. Last night I tried a test of this and it worked fine. Earlier today it would only work for a single file at a time, and now I cannot even successfully download even a single file at-a-time. I also tried printing to pdf but the result is the same.

I have many files I need to offload to my computer. Can anyone help?

My Notes (1).pdf

Looks like I will be contacting Support. I did quickly export all of my folders, one-by-one, as soon as I saw computer 1 start synching yesterday. Today, all of the files for 2022 on both computers are now "unnamed documents" with no content. I tried to import one of the folders but EN stopped me with the message that I had reached my monthly import limit and the import would not  be saved. It said I can increase my monthly limit by upgrading, but I am not sure even then if my monthly limit will be large enough to do all the imports. I don't even know if the folders I exported are good or bad. Hopefully I will get help from Support. I should have followed your advice and kept computer 1 off of the web but that would have essentially disabled the computer, so I didn't. If I have trouble reaching Support, I may ask for advice on how better to reach them.

Wow. Thank you both. I didn't mean to cause this much disruption. I have been away from my computer until just now. Let me be more explicit about the "corruption" and what the current status is. I haven't tried any fixes yet and I left both computers connected to the internet with Evernote open on both of them for all these hours.

All of the files in question are web pages (documents with data I use) that I manually "write" to EN as pdf files. So, I believe you two would consider these to be documents with attachments since they each consist of a single pdf-attached file.

When the filles are created, they always have the name "unnamed document", and I then name them and move them to various notebooks. The corruption is that yesterday I had about 50 documents named "unnamed document" and which have no content. Rather, they seem to be new EN files having the prompt to "start writing, drag files, or start from a template". These files have various dates, and these dates correspond to "good" documents on the first computer. 

These files were all created while using the first computer, and all are dated after Jan 1 of this year. Older files are all OK. I don't think I have opened Evernote this year on the 2nd computer until now.

As I was examining the files just now, about a dozen of them suddenly changed at once. Those files now have correct names and they moved to their correct notebooks. I still have about 40 unnamed documents left... I just looked again just now, and there are only 30 unnamed documents and 3 files that have names but no content.

I wonder if some very slowwwww sync process is strangely underway. I think I'll wait until tomorrow and if I see no further progress, I'll reread your discussion and see if I can export one Notebook at a time. An additional problem I will have is that I have move all of the subject files to different notebooks, and I have 18 notebooks. So I might have to bite the bullet and export each of the 18 notebooks. I hope not. I'll also consider creating a ticket with Support.

I still don't understand how I can have local files on my computer if there isn't a folder on my computer for those files, possibly encoded by EN. And, I should think I could just copy that folder across between computers. The computers are using the same OS (Big Sur).

Also, I observe the computer 1 has started synching EN about 10 minutes ago; it is still synching; and no files have been lost yet. So.... we'll see.

Thank you. I have a lot of files and it would be time-consuming to export the "good" ones in batches of 50. I think I can do that if I must.  However, I prefer to try your 2nd approach except that I'm not sure I understand what you have in mind. Can I just copy my~/Library/Application Support/Evernote folder from one Mac to the other and then relaunch EN on the other Mac? Better yet, is there a single file or subfolder that contains my "good" files that I could copy from one Mac to the other? Or is what you have in mind more complicated than that?

I have two computers that share evernote files. One of them has correct files while the other one has a LOT of corrupted files. I logged in to Evernote using a browser and the corrupted set of files appeared. How do I replace the corrupted cloud files using my local Mac set of files?

Is there a way to make a backup of my Mac local files before I begin. Is there some folder I need to duplicate, such as ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote or some such?

Also, I am worried that my  local good files will be synched and over-ridden, and I wish to avoid that. I don't know if it is safe to quit the app or keep it open with the correct files showing.

Thank you, DTLow. That solves my problem.

I had ALWAYS used the sidebar for everything. I didn't even know about the notebook page.

Thanks again. I learned something new. 

I am using Evernote 7.0.3 on a Mac. I can't figure out how to move a notebook from one stack to another.

Right-clicking on a notebook does not have a move option.

Dragging a notebook also does nothing.

In the menubar I can find "Move Note" but not "Move Notebook".

Help!
