  1. I see still no progress... ☹️ I'm still sticking with the Legacy version until this is finally fixed. I've stopped recommending Evernote as there is just too much wrong with the updated version. For Evernote to go for almost a year ignoring this just doesn't give me much confidence in the direction they are heading. I don't need a bloated home screen - I don't need tasks... I need basic functionality that worked in the Legacy version to finally make it into the new version. I am using the legacy version just fine on my Mac Min M1 @kilham Straying some more but here are some other examples that keep me with Legacy next to the missing drag and drop "Open In" not available in app encrypted PDFs not supported Import folders that remove the source file (apparently coming soon...) I still can't see "open in" on the Windows or Mac version 10.21.5
  2. @Jamesgstewart I can think of a few use cases where I would want to bulk decrypt files. You would use something like this: on run {input, parameters} set mypassword to display dialog "Please enter password for decryption." default answer "" with icon stop buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button "Continue" with hidden answer --> {button returned:"Continue", text returned:"mypassword"} set pw to text returned of mypassword repeat with this_file in input do shell script "/opt/homebrew/opt/qpdf/bin/qpdf --decrypt --password='" & pw & "' --replace-input " & quoted form of POSIX path of this_file end repeat return input end run If you don't want to overwrite the encrypted files you can find more options in the QPDF Manual (sourceforge.net)
  3. This is AWESOME! I just switched back to using a Mac and had scanned a ton of PDF's with my Scansnap. Unfortunately Fujitsu seems to have removed the possibility to encrypt at scan time in their latest Mac version. It still works fine on my PC which is what I've been using since my original post. So I was trying to figure out how I encrypted after the fact in the past. I also found my old post but without the screenshots it's pretty useless and I can't remember that far back. So thanks @DTLow for reminding me how I did it 😄 @JMichaelTX I completely agree and that's what I've been doing for years. My workaround was more for the case where I had bulk scanned pretty much my entire life into Evernote and then afterwards went: "I do kind of trust Evernote but that PDF probably should be encrypted with a password only I know". The step in Automator uses AES128 encryption. If you wanted AES256 here are a few options that actually make this whole thing much easier: Use QPDF (free) Install Homebrew and QPDF Add the Run AppleScript step (This is all that is required) on run {input, parameters} set pw to "some super secure password" repeat with this_file in input do shell script "/opt/homebrew/opt/qpdf/bin/qpdf --encrypt '" & pw & "' '" & pw & "' 256 -- --replace-input " & quoted form of POSIX path of this_file end repeat return input end run or if you want it to prompt you each time you could do: on run {input, parameters} set mypassword to display dialog "Please enter password for encryption." default answer "" with icon stop buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button "Continue" with hidden answer --> {button returned:"Continue", text returned:"mypassword"} set pw to text returned of mypassword repeat with this_file in input do shell script "/opt/homebrew/opt/qpdf/bin/qpdf --encrypt '" & pw & "' '" & pw & "' 256 -- --replace-input " & quoted form of POSIX path of this_file end repeat return input end run Use PDFPenPro ($$) to encrypt (from Redacted and Encrypted PDF's with Hazel and PDFpenPro (macdrifter.com)) Replace the Encrypt PDF Documents step with this AppleScript: on run {input, parameters} set pw to "some super secure password" repeat with this_file in input tell application "PDFpenPro" open this_file save document 1 encrypt using AES256 password pw quit end tell end repeat return input end run You can adapt this as well to prompt for a password like in the QPDF example. Either example will expect an unencrypted PDF as input. If you try and run this on an already encrypted PDF it will simply fail with an invalid password error (unless the password is the same one you are currently using). This post comes with no warranties whatsoever - the usual common sense applies for the use of passwords. If you decide to save your password in an automator action you are accepting that it will not be safe. Follow @PinkElephants advice and use a password manager and just use the prompt version of the above script to stay on the safe side.
  4. When I drag and drop a PDF from Evernote to Windows Explorer and the filename has spaces Evernote will convert these spaces to %20. So "My great filename.pdf" becomes "My%20great%20filename.pdf" - not so great anymore.

  5. I have multiple notes all with PDFs showing inline. If I right click on the content of any PDF to select Open from the context menu I get scrolled down to the bottom of the note. The only way I can avoid this from happening is to very carefully click on the black title bar (dark mode) of the PDF. Then it doesn't scroll.

  6. Same problem. Can't drag into Gmail (Web) or Outlook (App) anymore. Have to go via Explorer. The whole point of having Evernote is so that I don't have files in folders on my drive anymore. Sigh...😕
  7. Seems like sometimes waiting does pay off. Thank you for allowing me to save directly to the camera roll again in Scannable. 😃 I love the app but never understood why you forced me to save to Evernote first, then allow saving to camera roll - sometimes I just wanted to save and email and not have it in Evernote. Thanks for restoring the original functionality - much appreciated!
  8. This works now in 6.13 - however only if you right click --> view as attachment first on the PDF. If you are viewing the PDF inline it doesn't work which is annoying as I can do this on my Mac without problems.
