Is there any Evernote documentation that tells us why they believe the new PDF system is better than the old one?
 

I have not seen anything, it's as if they have changed something out for their benefit under the hood, not ours as users. This looks exactly like Chrome/Chromium PDF reader, embedded like an iFrame. If there is a reasoning I would be very interested in seeing it. The combination of annotating PDFs, creating the summary page at the start, and displaying that as an embedded image/pdf preview was a great handling of PDFs.

You can downgrade to a previous app version 

The discussion has been moved to the Windows Forum 

Are you serious? Every time someone has a complaint about EN, you jump to their defence, regardless of what it is. Just 2 comments above yours is the below.

The problem with downgrading, to avoid the PDF viewing problem, is you lock yourself out from any future improvements.

Companies promote the benefits and features of their products.

To simply downgrade does lock us out of everything and everything EN does from this point on. Including bug fixes, security patches, etc, everything. Simply downgrading is not an option!

 At present, Evernote only allows a two level hierarchy for Notebooks.  This is implemented by grouping notebooks into Stacks

Please add your vote to the request above.  Voting buttons are in the top left corner of the discussion 

>>if I want to organise notes for writing a novel, I could call the main notebook 'Novel', and then have sub notebooks called 'characters', 'theme', etc.  Within 'Character'  I could then have sub-notebooks like 'David', 'Sarah', etc containing notes about those characters.

A work-around is to use a standard naming convention; for example

• Novel
• Novel - Characters
• Novel - Characters - David
• Novel - Characters - Sarah
• Novel - Theme

 

Surely from that, the UI can break that into notebooks. Whether or not they are saved like that on the back end no-one cares. 

When GMail first had labels, they were flat too. Then there was a GMail labs feature which would convert labels named "Novel/Characters" into a Novel and Characters subfolder within the UI. The label was exactly the same and on non supporting clients that's how it was shown. It is just a UI representation, not a whole design change.

We don't have sub-notebooks, but you can organize tags into a hierarchy. This may allow you to set up the organizational scheme you're looking for.

There is a danger of this route, as you can easily double tag and remove tags by accident. Then you have non-tagged notes which live in an abyss. A notebook is a place, not a tag, the note lives there.
