Feature Request: PDF annotation, being able to select actual text to highlight

[jbross45 8]

I just thought of a basic addition to the annotation feature in Evernote premium. Just like in Mac's Preview, one should be able to highlight the plain text itself if a pdf has text-recongnizition enabled. It is a basic fix towards the rather large problem of Evernote annotating.

 

It would be outstanding for my school work and a huge help!

Yes yes yes. It's so strange that Evernote doesn't have an annotating option that recognizes text to ensure clean highlighting. Basically every other annotator for iPads has this.  Major limitation in Evernote that makes me not use it.

+1. Not sure why they already haven't done so

I agree. I need highlighting to recognize text when annotating a pdf! Great feature request. Hopefully it comes soon.

This is, without question, my number one complaint with evernote right now.  Seriously, it is one the most basic and fundamental pdf annotations out there.  Very frustrating.

You totally right! I can't believe Evernote have not implement this feature so far.

+ 8 Million if I could!!

Evernote has already done the "hard work" of text recognition - so the inherent ability to identify lines of text is there!! The fact that you cannot highlight text makes pdf annotation USELESS. Like completely useless. I'm using pdfExpert to annotate and then re-importing back to evernote... Excessive! This is such a waste of time. Please please make this simple fix
