Which Evernote application are you working with? All should open a PDF on one way or another. The desktop applications will display the PDF content inside the now (unless you set it to view as an attachment). The mobile applications display as an attachment by default but opening then should open in the Evernote PDF viewer. 

In both cases, if you wish to edit the PDF then you need to open inside an external viewer.

Please tell us which application you are working with and we may be able to help...

Hi and thanks.

I am using IOS and Android and Windows (I know, go figure).

Right now on the same document Android wants to use external viewer.  IOS took almost 5 minutes of I thought, doing nothing, them opened it.  I am not sure if it downloaded it but that seemed to be the only option available.

I am away from my Windows desktop right now so I can’t check that.

I only want to read and most importantly search with my PDFs. I have a premium account.

I notice Some PDFs show a small image of the first page in the search results and some don’t but I am not sure why.

any light you can shed on this is most appreciated.

I see that some of my PDFs open right in Evernote and some don’t.  I try to make sure I have made an OCR version of a pdf, but even then some I cannot open without an external pdf reader.  Is there a list of pdf formats that work best for opening and searching within Evernote?

On Android you can just click on the PDF and it will open inside the evernote app.

However it's worth mentioning that PDF is not always equal to PDF. there are many, many different formats which are all called PDF (rather like word documents in this respect). It's quite possible that the evernote app only supports some of these formats and not all.

thanks

I updated to 10.8 and either that fixed the issue or re-starting Evernote fixed it. ....I now have 27 copies of the same template 😉

Hi,

I am using Windows v10.7.6 and am trying to save a new template.  It says it has saved it, but when I create a new note, then click template button (I can see all the evernote templates) and then My Templates, I am taken to the last note in my Trash can!  I permanently deleted the last note in case there was some weird link in that note but My Templates still goes to the most recent deleted note. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for all your help! I downloaded the app and it works like a charm. The tip about naming the individual files was very useful. Thanks again!

1. Install the Evernote app on your phone.  You'll be able to share images and web pages to the app and use it's camera feature to take more pictures.
2. Use 'share' in your Gallery app to add these pages to Evernote notes.  They will go to separate notes,  so you'll need to merge the notes (on a desktop) later.  Evernote will OCR the images for you and make them searchable.
3. Alternatively if your apps are backed up by Google Photos you could go to their web page and download the images to your desktop.  You could then add the images to a single note by signing into your account at Evernote.com

Yes.

1. I am worried about installing the latest Android version 10.7 ? As the reviews are devastating.  Is there a way to install an older version?

2. How do you merge the notes on the desktop? Do you mean in the Windows Evernote program, or do you mean some other desktop app to merge?

Thanks again.

I have on my Android some photos I took (not with Evernote) of pages of a book.  How do I

1) upload them to Evernote and have them searchable?

2) In the future, does it make more sense to download the Evernote App onto my phone, and take photos of text from within the Evernote app?

I can't seem to find what I think should be a simple answer.  Thanks for your help.
