Jordan M 0 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have my pdf files on my android tablet sd card. I want to move them to EN. But first I want to add a OCR text overlay. Using my Windows 10 computer what is the best sequence of steps and software to add OCR text overlay and then upload to EN premium account. I want the text overlay so the end product is copy and paste able text or is there a way to do this after the fact (after it is on EN). I understand that EN servers will add OCR for searchability, but this does not give select/copy paste capability of I understand correctly. Link to comment

Adobe Acrobat is the original tool, ABBYY is another choice. They're expensive; you can google for cheaper alternatives Some scanner software also include OCR function Link to comment

Yes, but it's not an Evernote feature - you need an external application As per any file attachment, the pdf is extracted to a working directory, updated, then added back to Evernote Link to comment
Jordan M 0 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Do I need to create a new note to add it back or is there a way to update the pdf attachment? Link to comment

Here's an example of the workflow on my Mac View the note in Evernote Right-click on the PDF, and select Open in Preview The Preview app opens with the pdf Do my updates Save and Close The pdf is updated automatically in Evernote - I do not have to create a new note Warning: There is currently a bug with OS Sierra that prevents editing in place. I'm expecting this to be resolved by the end of the month Link to comment
Jordan M 0 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 What about removal of blank pages? It appears that using the android app it always scans two sided. So I am getting a lot of blank pages I would also like to strip out. Is there a good program that will do this? Link to comment

Deleting pdf pages is a feature of Evernote Windows/Mac Annotation Link to comment
Jordan M 0 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I can't find the delete feature. Apparently it is a menu in the annotate feature, but I can't seem to locate any such menu. I have right clicked and left clicked on the page I icon I want to delete and on the page itself, but no menu with a delete option. Ideally I would want a simpler way even if I can get this annotate thing to work. Like software that will just automatically go through a pdf file and remove any near blank pages. Link to comment
