yup. from the beginning, this has been about workarounds.

simpler if you know how to do that.

To get this to work as you want, I think you will need to uninstall, delete your Evernote database, then reinstall, and as soon as you log in, to to Tools|Options|Sync and enable Sync on demand. If you enable it without doing this, your data will remain on your work PC until the sync-on-demand days threshold is met before it is purged locally.

6.11 GA this morning seems to have fixed the PDF issue.

Or, just use the web client at work. Nothing is saved anywhere. I too would like a selective notebook sync, but there are at least two-three viable workarounds that make it managable to have access to your personal Evernote data at work without all of your data being on the work machine.

Just enable Sync on Demand and don't go into those notebooks on your work PC that you don't want downloaded. It only downloads the metadata (title, creation/edit date, tags, etc) but not note content until you click on it.

I edited the note in the web app and it finally showed the PDF on the desktop, but when I navigated away and back to the note, it showed the gray line again. Opening the note in a new window caused the PDF to show up, closing it then showed it inline. Navigated away again and back and got the gray line. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I am still having an issue. Took a pic via Scannable on my iPhone Sent to Evernote Note sync'd to PC, but only the title, and a horizonal rule. The PDF was gone. Went back into iOS and edited the note title. The PDF is there. Came back to Windows and the note title was edited, but just have the horizonal rule. Still no PDF.

Will check tonight. That wasn't there 3-4 hrs ago. Must have just been released.

super frustrating. You can force it to show up by editing it on iOS, Android, or the web, or Mac, or a different Windows PC. Just add/delete a space and it will force it to resync and show up. You SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RESORT TO SUCH SHENANIGANS, but at least it will be available for use.

Rats. I've already upvoted this. Cannot upvote again. :-(

Yup. I reported this in the most recent beta thread. No response, or fix....

Yup. Noticed UBlock Origin caused the same thing. I whitelisted the Evernote site after that. They don't hit you with ads and are running a lot of complex scripts and code on that page to make it work.

Thanks. I have unchecked it and will see how it goes. There were times I just gave up and edited it in my web browser.

I generally agree with your post and we use Office 365 here and force 64 bit versions on all PCs, but as the other post said, this is mainly because I develop some pretty large and complex data models in Excel using the DAX engine and 32bit Excel has fallen over flat. As for performance, I'd wager anyone using 32bit office just fine (i.e. not big Excel models) would never notice any performance impact of 32bit vs 64bit simply because they aren't taxing the processor to begin with. I'd like 64 bit evernote, but that is on principle. On Windows, the bottleneck is the MySQL database on the hard drive, so no amount of processor or RAM will speed that up, and EN isn't a memory hog where it needs to address over 3GB of RAM. And since I am sure there are existing 32bit Windows EN customers, going to 64 bit only introduces cost. That said, it is coming. Apple has forced all apps on both iOS and MacOS to be 64bit. I am sure MS will do the same at some point, but not sure when, because as of today, if you really want to, you can install a 32bit version of Windows 10.

Yes. Same here. Happening on latest beta as well. Offline or not seems to make no difference. It is like it is the rendering engine that is the bottleneck, not the getting of data.

Probably a note corruption. A preventative measure would be to uninstall evernote, remove the evernote folder in your user profile (assuming all of your notes are synced and you have no offline only notebooks), reinstall and let it download a fresh copy of your data.

All of your evernote data is on your PC in plain text unless you have specifically encrypted text in a note.. If you want to take security seriously, encrypt your hard drive and secure your account with a password. That is a better solution than hundreds of app developers creating their own security model. The desktop model is quite different than the phone model. Desktops don't segregate data by app into secure databases like apps do, so by using a PIN on an app, the developer is tying into the platform security model and it is secure. If they put a pin on your Evernote app, that would be about as secure as putting a rope around a door handle and looping it to a nail to secure your house.

It is fixed in the 6.8 betas. Either get that, or wait for the 6.8 general release.

Your laptop should be configured to lock when the lid is closed (assuming not on a docking station.) So for the TSA scenario to work, you'd have to turn your laptop on, log in, then walk away. I'd never log my laptop in for the TSA or anyone without a warrant.

PCs have Bitlocker depending on the version of Windows you have or you can right-click and encrypt your Evernote folder - it will turn green when encrypted. You can use VeraCrypt on both platforms too. There are others as well. Always ALWAYS encrypt your machine. Otherwise, I can steal it, take out the HD and attach it to a USB enclosure and have full access to your data.

They are there for the picking anyway. Your Evernote database on your PC/Mac is largely clear-text. You should both encrypt your hard drive and secure your device with a password.

They know. They are the ones that told us it was because of the new table format. They know many are unhappy with it. I don't know if they are working on it though.

For Windows users, just make it a shorcut, then have the shortcut bar shown across the top, not down the side. I have about 7 "pinned" notes, and saved searches, and notebooks, that I always have access to regardless of my view, sort status, or even what notebook I am in.

No joy here either.
