I directly scan my paperwork into Evernote.  Sometimes there is a blank page showing or a page needs to be rotated to be read correctly.  I used to be able to do this within seconds in Evernote.  In v10, I have to open the file, edit it outside of Evernote, save it as a new note and then delete the old note.  So making a simple correction has gone from something that took less than a minute and added value to Evernote, to a task that takes several minutes, gives more chance for error (duplicate notes, deleting the wrong note, etc) and leaves me feeling frustrated with Evernote.  I understand that Evernote is not a PDF editor; however, because I am mainly using it to manage my scanned paperwork, it is a huge benefit to be able to make simple changes to the notes rather than creating a time consuming outside process.

To remove a page (or several), you can use the iOS function I have described in my post from October 11. I really don’t see a necessity for EN to replicate a function in the app that is already build into iOS. Similar on the Mac, where any pdf can be edited with the MacOS preview app. When closing it in Preview, all changes will be saved back into EN.

Any code not necessary just makes the app bloated and slow. Better to keep the devs working on features not already existing in the OS.

I respect your knowledge a lot and your posts have helped me with a few different issues.  I am wondering about your comment about the additional features making the app bloated and slow.  It seems like the Legacy version is so much faster than the new version, even with features that have been removed.  Is that just because it was based on a different software that could handle more features?  (not sure if software is the correct term)

Certainly not related to Evernote. Evernote is not a pdf editor. You would need to open the pdf in an pdf editing app rather than just a viewer.

Yet Evernote used to make it so easy to do this when needed.  It is a feature that was lost with the new version and I really miss it.

I'd like to share another perspective because I really miss this feature (the ability to remove pages from a note or rotate a page).  I scan all my paperwork directly into Evernote.  Sometimes a scan will show a blank page or incorrect rotation.  In the Legacy version of Evernote, it was so quick and easy to correct this within Evernote.  Now, I have to use a workaround that causes more time than the initial scan caused.  It's another irritation and  loss of efficiency.
