Thanks Mark, now I can see all the pages that I no longer can highlight. The highlight function is still freehand and there is no option to select text in the Annotation view. The Note view now lets me see all the pages that I cannot highlight except with the useless freehand option. There seems to be no way to select and highlight text in pdf like Evernote used to do.

Try typing anything relating to my problem into the "Help" field - nothing usable comes up. The tips you guys are giving me above don't come up as solutions, a question about the very same thing from 2016 comes up but not a solution to the problem. I should not have to spend 4 hours on a Saturday trying to work out basic stuff like this. It should be intuitive in the design of the app, solutions should be available both under HELP and when you google known problems on top search engines. This is a classic example of people being so wrapped up in their own product and logic that they've forgotten to take new users into account. Reminds me of Miele, great products but subpar interface design.

My file is NOT AN IMAGE, it is a regular text pdf file that I can highlight using other applications. I used to be able to highlight text in pdf files from within Everenote where I could scroll it vertically, not page by page like here. That is useless when you're working with long documents and you need to go to page 137 or 355 quickly, the inlay view only offers one page at a time scrolling. See new screenshot. If I have to use a new app to edit then more than half of what I used Evernote for is gone. The incentive to pay for this app is nonexistant at the moment, other free apps offer to do the same thing like Samsung Notes and there I would highlight through Acrobat or Edge or similar. How do I get out of the Skitch viewer - or - how can I browse like below but vertically. This used to be all available within the same pdf editor on my mac but this new version does not do that. I'm not clicking 155 times to get to page 155 as I would have to do in the editor below.

None of the answers have helped. The options you talk about are not available in the pc version. I used these features in Evernote on my mac a couple of years ago but now on a PC none of the options are available. NB I can easily highlight through Acrobat Reader but Evernote treats the document like it's an image and doesn't offer ANY options to select, search or highlight. These options are simply not there, even though I have an active subscription. I saw elsewhere on the web that people were complaining about these features missing in the latest PC version. What you guys see on your screen is simply not available on my screen, even though I am logged in to Evernote with my subscription. See attached screenshot. p.s. I can't even see the page number. p.p.s. go ahead and try to search for "select text evernote pdf" or similar, look at what comes up, no solutions from the company that address the issue but multiple customers reporting that they can't highlight, search or copy. ---- The Inline view doesn't work because it's a long file and I simply cannot browse page by page through 400 pages, I need to be able to scroll vertically through the document as you would with a regular word document. I have yet to find that option for the inlay. It is unusable if I have to browse 400 pages one by one in a side view. The inlay option does not offer vertical scrolling like the screenshot below.

I just want to copy a quote from the pdf that is attached to my note - in fact I don't want this note, I just wanted to read and highlight the document and copy from it BUT THAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. I PAID FOR A YEARLY PERSONAL PLAN, HOW DO I SELECT AND COPY BASIC TEXT FROM PDF? Why are there dozens of people asking the same thing all over this and other user forums and Evernote does not reply? What did I just pay for if not these BASIC features?

I've not been able to find how to highlight or underline text in pdf documents included or attached to Evernote notes. I was expecting at least a few BASIC features for taking notes, highlighting or underlining text but all of the options are for me to draw on the bloody thing without any connection to the content itself. I was hoping a paid subscription would give me at least some options but NO. I'm better off using Preview for underlining and Xmind for categorization and note taking.
