Arf 1 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hello! I've been trying to do something which I thought would be very simple - exporting a note I have to a pdf (on a mac). This is in principle straightforward (by printing the note to pdf). However, to my surprise I found that inline pdfs aren't being printed out into the exported pdf. It seems bizarre that this doesn't work. I had to do the export anyhow so I spent the next hour opening each inline pdf, saving it as png, pasting it in and deleting the old pdf. There must be a better way to do it, but I couldn't find one googling/looking through the forums. Exporting to html and then printing that to pdf doesn't help either. Does anyone know how to do it properly? Thanks! Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted August 6, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sorry but I don't think that's possible on any platform. You can print a note, and you can open and print the attached PDFs individually, but there's no way (as yet) to do it all in one go. Link to comment
Arf 1 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Thats really a shame. It basically means that I can't share most of my notes if the person I want to share it with doesn't use Evernote. This seriously limits the utility of Evernote for me, just as I was started getting used to the program... Is there any official way to make an improvement request? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted August 6, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted August 6, 2013 Basically you already have - the developers read these pages for suggestions and ideas. You could always share the note via its public URL - not exactly secure, but you do have the "purloined letter" thing that your data (if its not too personal / critical) is lost withing the millions of documents online, and no-one knows your URL except the person you send it to.. and anyone they send it to.. and their friends...

Petaluma Peter 0 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I don't know when this change BUT THINGS ARE BETTER, at least on the Mac.There is now a context menu option (ctrl-click) for "Convert Note to PDF". When you click this, it creates a new note in your default Evernote folder and have an embedded PDF, with all the same goodness as the original. In this new note-as-PDF, there is a 'Save As' icon within the note where you can save the note as a PDF. The saved PDF appears to have all the high fidelity of the original PDF, such as full resolution of embedded pictures, etc. Nice! Pj. Link to comment
zzzman 1 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 mmm... I've been waiting for ages for inline pdf's to be printed on the Mac. So this new export feature does work, but why is it implemented in this way? It chews up your allowance by replicating everything again in a new note. I'd much prefer if this feature would just Save As... in the usual way. So nice, but no cigar Link to comment
juhui13 0 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Has this feature been removed again? This is exactly what I've been looking for but I just can't find it. I've got the standalone mac version 5.5, newest version. Anybody who can help please? thanks! Link to comment

You need to right click (or control+click) in the individual note and chose the option to convert the note to PDF from the popup. Link to comment

I'm using the evernote desktop app on the mac if that makes a difference. Any ideas? Link to comment
zzzman 1 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 So this feature has been removed from the latest mac client and is not available on the web interface either. It is deeply frustrating. All I want to do is convert the thing I can see on the screen when I open a note (ie all the pdfs expanded) and be able to save/export that as a pdf. I use evernote for expenses (I don't think I'm the only one doing that....) and expenses come in the form of photos, email invoices and pdf invoices. I need evernote to be able to print them. By the way, it works on the windows client (or ir did at least a few months ago last time I used windows). Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted November 7, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted November 7, 2014 Export note to PDF has never worked on the Windows client unless you had a PDF editor installed (like Adobe Acrobat) when you could print to PDF. I'd doubt it worked in Mac either unless a similar editor was installed. Link to comment

Thanks!I am using EN 5.6.0 Direct.Yosemite 10.10 The best I can do is;Right Click in the body of the NoteChoose Convert to PDF It creates a New Note with a PDF of the original Note. Then Drag-n-Drop the PDF from the Note wherever you want to, such as your Desktop.I hope this helps. Link to comment
PeterM 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If I understand the problem correctly, I may have a suggested workaround. 1. Place all notes that you want in a single notebook. 2. Export notes to a HTML page. 3. Print this web page to PDF using your print dialog options. This will create a PDF with all your notes. Biggest problem is that you need to move your notes into a new notebook, which is time consuming, and something you may not want to do... Link to comment
RTR45 0 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 To export a .pdf note in Evernote to a non-Evernote pdf file on a mac: this works for me: Right-click (control-click) in the body of the note and select "Open With - Preview"In Preview, under "File" select "Export as PDF," choose a meaningful name and desired location, and execute. I'm using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.4, and Evernote Version 6.0.16 (451861 Direct) Link to comment
VitalVet 1 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Just tried this, and had a jumbled result. 4 pages, scanned and arranged in proper order in Preview, but using the arrow icon to send to Evernote, the four came out of order. Disappointingly long time to save some paper from my life… p.s. I could reorder in Evernote w/cut and paste, but… Link to comment

My source is scanned magazine pages, collated in Preview, then exported to Evernote. If there's a better thread or I need to start a new one, please advise. Closest I could find in searching the forum. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted July 30, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 30, 2016 @VitalVet - I'm not a Mac user, so can't really help you on the tech side, but normally I'd get all my pages collated by the scanner into one PDF and then moved into Evernote. Maybe one of the Mac users around here can help if there's a better way. Meantime I'll see if we can get these posts moved to their own thread... Link to comment

VitalVet 1 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Thanks. I'll open a ticket. Link to comment
