thanks I was guessing this could be a solution. will go for that as the lack of links is annoying

I’ve been looking for EN to add this forever and I’ve pretty much given up. so I’d love to know what others recommend as the closest Evernote alternative that offers this feature? I think I’m done with EN

this is damn annoying but one thing i've used for years and it works with evernote too is "print selection" service that's quite easy to install on OSX. find it here http://www.schubert-it.com/free/

so Emerick has there been support for this since i currently can't print part of note or selection in evernote for mac

I am going to add my voice to this one as well. I was just wondering how I could simply COPY TEXT on my iPad (using the system copy feature) and paste it into a Penultimate note (using the Penultimate app and not evernote) and realized that it is currently IMPOSSIBLE. Dunno but it struck me as something that should intuitively work (maybe treat the text as an image) but the workaround (clunky) is to take a good screenshot (home/power button on iOS for y'all newbs) and then paste it into Penultimate as an image. Shortfalls of this method are that you are limited to one page/screenshot at a time, etc, etc. I am sure this is coming but I wanted to commend Evernote on (finally) moving ahead in the right areas. Huge GAPING hole still: Can't highlight notes (just a plain highlight in yellow as you can do in a PDF!) in any of your iOS, Mac or other (?) apps. This would be so great for highlighting passages or works in text and, even better, searching through your highlights.

would be great if Skitch could handle PDF docs for minor editing or at least import as an image, etc without having to convert that PDF first.

Does anyone know where the Evernote spotlight index is now? I can't find it under: Library / Caches / Metadata / com.evernote.Evernote I am trying to force spotlight to reindex because no results show up since I upgraded my Mac to Mountain Lion.

i am happy that someone else noticed this annoying extension behavior in Chrome as I was worried I may be doing something wrong. i take it that there is no way currently around this? if so then my suggested workaround is to use the *bookmarklet* (in use for a long time before extensions i believe) rather than the extension as i've noticed it is not affected by the *focus* problem that is such a nuisance. i initially thought that the tab had to at least be in focus and not be switched but it turns out that the whole chrome application needs to be in focus so its pretty close to useless for me. the *extension* does maintain its usefulness for searches and Google search integration though. note to Evernote devs: please provide a best-practice guide for using this functionality to create new notes. i would also like to add that the focus problem is compounded quite a bit by the fact that it is *very slow* and requires some waiting so its hard to avoid shifting focus to another tab or window while you wait for it to do its thing.

thanks for taking the time to explain. this should be in the documentation i think to help other users that may be wondering about it.

Dave - thanks for taking the time to highlight this and i hope my comment didn't come across earlier as overly aggressive. i think evernote is great relative to what's out there but wonder if its not possible for someone else to create a competitor that tempts your users away with more congruent features that address these 'little things'. regarding the point you made about the software, while i accept that may be a limitation to PDF scans, wouldn't there be a way to incorporate my earlier point about a 'scan for handwriting' optional checkbox that would then run the attached PDF through your handwriting image processor? just an idea especially considering that all image manipulation and viewing apps i've used on OSX do open PDFs.

This forum has been quiet for almost a month and i don't want the Evernote folks to get complacent. I'm annoyed at their implicit admitted assumption that PDF OCR only applied to typed text and not handwriting since the behavior we've been constantly told about has been that Evernote OCRs all handwriting. I also paid for OCRing of my PDFs when i upgraded to premium. The least they could do as a fix would be to add a user selectable option for 'scan PDF for handwriting'.

Ah drat! I wish you guys at Evernote had told us about your 'assumption' explicitly. I suspected that handwritten notes were not being OCR'd like handwritten OCRs and this is now a pain. Any way you can make this some kind of user selectable feature? BTW I am one of your PREMIUM evernote customers. I think you once said we represented 1 or 2% of your users so I think we get special treatment =) I'm really liking 'Penultimate' on my iPad for capturing multipage handwritten notes and then emailing them as PDFs to Evernote. All this time (couple of weeks) I thought they were being OCRd until I went to search for something and got a bit fat ZERO. thanks.

I've been using Penultimate on the iPad to keep handwritten notes and then emailing them as multipage PDFs to my Evernote account. I had assumed that I would then be able to search these notes using Evernote once they'd been OCR'd. I later found that none of these notes had been OCR'd but when they were sent in another image format such as JPG the handwriting was in fact OCRd. Is EN ignoring anything but typed text PDFs for OCR? I say this because I've been successfully in that but not in handwritten PDFs. Why not send in JPG or PNG handwritten OCRs? Simple: Its because I can't have multipage documents in these formats like I can do with PDFs. Any help from Evernote Support on how to get around this limitation?

aren't more people asking for this? evernote for Mac is basically useless for reading more than a one page PDF without opening it with another PDF app. what's so hard about fixing that?
