ubjuris 0 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I want to share with everyone my way of tackling the lack of Automator support and options to bulk import pdfs into Evernote. I created an email Automator script as follows (the automator actions are in bold): 1. I collected all of the pdfs I wished to add to one folder and made a note of the file count. 2. Get Specified Finder Items: here I dropped all of the collected pdfs. 3. Dispense Items Incrementally: downloaded from (http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/) and allows automator to loop 4. New Mail Message: placed my Evernote email in (To:); added the information for title, notebook, and tags in the subject (http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2012/04/20/quick-tip-friday-emailing-into-your-evernote-account/) and left all other fields blank for my purposes 5. Send Outgoing Message 6. Loop: I left the option to loop automatically and added the file number count to the "stop after" section to ensure I caught everything. 7. Press play. I have a MBP with a SSD and 8gb of RAM so it went pretty fast although I think it's possible it may hang-up slower systems. Mail will repeatedly jump to the foreground when sending the messages, so it's best to not touch the computer while executing this. I also suggest a trial of 5 files initially to ensure you have everything working properly. I hope this helps everyone..... Link to comment
TheGooch 25 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 That sounds pretty complicated. Have you heard about the Evernote Folder Action script that imports ( and deletes afterwards ) pdf's that you drop into a folder into Evernote? I found and installed it last night, and it works great. I put the link below. http://veritrope.com/tech/evernote-desktop-folder/ Link to comment
