Stacie 1 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 When I open a note that I put a handwritten document in, it shows a pdf and then I need to click on it to open the page I scanned. I tried using the "Search" feature to search for a keyword within this document, but it didn't work. Is it because of the way it loaded? Is there a different way I need to do this? See attached image. Link to comment

See attached image. Image/PDF processing is documented here https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2013/07/18/how-evernotes-image-recognition-works/ You'll notice that handwriting is only processed in image files, not in pdfs edited: needs to be confirmed Link to comment

How did you manage to get a PDF document? What you're currently using is an image file embedded in a PDF file. Link to comment
Stacie 1 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I saved the file and dragged and dropped it into the new note. Then it automatically turned it into a PDF. Link to comment

Stacie 1 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I used a scanner to scan the document...then dragged and dropped it into the new note. Whatever was done was done automatically. Link to comment

Stacie 1 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'll check. What do I want it set up to? Jpg? Link to comment

Take a picture of it with your phone. See if your scanner has a jpg output setting. Link to comment
