That looks helpful. However, I see something that looks contradictory, perhaps you can help: It says: "- Which types of scanned PDFs are searchable? PDFs that do not already contain text that you can select or copy" But then it says under troubleshooting: "Open the PDF in Adobe Reader or your PDF viewer and try selecting text in the file. If the text is selectable, it should show up in Evernote search." That seems contradictory to me.

Hello Mike P, No, the web version doesn't work either. The PDF's are from one source, a Russian company, but all in English. There is a link in the PDF to a site to check the digital signature on the document, perhaps that is causing problem? Adobe and Edge have no problem with the files, and neither does Evernote when searching within the note. It's just that nothing shows up if I use the main search function. Not if I select start or the folder where the notes with the PDF's are.

I don't think time is the problem. There are some I added in 2020 and 2021 (august) that aren't searchable.

Evernote is not returning search results from some of my PDF's. The PDF's are perfectly searchable in Adobe Acrobat, or when I open them in Edge, but Evernote can't seem to search through them. The search function is one the main reasons I use Evernote, so it's a major problem for me. It does seem to be limited to newer PDF's. Can there be something about a PDF file that makes it unsearchable for Evernote? Mario Edit: Evernote does search through some of the PDF's if I search within the note, but not if I use the main search.
