With the recent upgrade, I can no longer annotate a pdf. This was a major feature that caused me to become a premium member and it has worked fine for years. What has happened? Is there something I am missing here? I am still able to annotate pdfs on my iMac and oddly on my iPhone but not on my iPad???
This seems to be an EN upgrade issue. I followed up and forced an update to the iPhone and it inherited the function of the iPad. Now they both don't function as they have in the past. It is possible to annotate but it creates another file that gets saved outside of EN and the source note. At least that appears to be the case.

I agree with Stoppa. After trying to annotate a pdf using iPad, I was able to access the feature but in my opinion it has been rendered practically useless. I switched back to the iMac to complete the annotations. No longer possible or obvious how to do it on the iPad.
When I try to annotate PDFs on my iPad using the newly prescribed procedure, I get the following error. I would never have renewed my premium subscription in late September had I known this was just around the corner. This has ruined a major feature of premium for me.
When a pdf is copied from website and pasted, it can be pasted as a hyperlink and not as a true resource. You will not be able to annotate such pdfs. We are aware of this issue and working on improving the copy paste experience. In the meantime, as a work around, you should be able to download that pdf on to your device from the web and then attach it into Evernote. This should let you annotate it. Thank you for your patience.
Hi @Jaya Shekarraju. Thanks for responding. What you have described is not the issue that is being discussed in this thread. The problem is that the annotation tools are inadequate. They are a terrible step backwards in functionality which is why the users here (including myself) are saying they cannot annotate PDFs. If v10 could annotate the way previous versions could then it would be more functional and adequate.
I'm a full-time academic who works at a university. All of my work depends on being able to annotate documents, especially PDFs. I can't do that now. I'm trialling GoodNotes 5. My Premium subscription is due in a month. Unless this is fixed then sadly I'll have to leave Evernote until annotation works again.
@Chris HustonI've worked out a halfway decent way to use GoodNotes with a separate note taking system (like Apple Notes). I'm using GoodNotes for document organisation and annotation (PDFs in particular) and OneDrive for storage (iCloud is an option). In GoodNotes I can create a shareable / external link to individual PDFs. In a note taking app, let's say OneNote for example, I'm pasting that external link into the top of the note. Now when I click / tap the link it takes me directly to the PDF in GoodNotes and I can annotate as usual and it's synced across my devices. Obviously the OneNote note is synced too.
For more advanced annotation I use the PDF Expert app, that allows a complete set of annotations (and other operations) done on a pdf file. Handling is. Ot as Good in v10 as in the old versions - in v10 the pdf Must be exported to the Files app, then annotated, and the reimported into EN, creating a new note (instead of updating the old one).
Personally I use PDF Expert both on iOS and Mac if I want to have more and better annotation options. But you need to pay for it, it does not come for free. You can get Skitch for free, that can edit PDFs independently from EN, but with the same limited tools. And then there are a lot of other apps that can annotate a pdf - one example would be GoodNotes 5.
Incorporating images, PDFs and even voice notes, it's rare that you'll lose any of those genius ideas that come and go all too often. Furthermore, did you know you can also annotate images and PDFs in Evernote? Yep. Surprise!
In addition to being able to store and search PDF documents, Evernote also supports the ability to annotate (markup) them. Annotating a PDF allows you to effectively markup the document. This is great for editing drafts of documents such as:

With Evernote, you can annotate your PDF documents. Whether you want to add a drawing, shape, or text, Evernote allows you to annotate your PDFs directly. On the other hand, Notion requires some workarounds to annotate your PDFs.
You can even add tags and notes to your web clipping. Because the text is live on your screenshots, you can edit, copy & paste, and otherwise annotate them, too. Any links will also be live and clickable.
You can also annotate any attached images and PDF files in Evernote, and the app gives you lots of tools to do it. You can add arrows, shapes, stamps, and text, as well as draw, crop, resize, and pixelate certain areas.
Evernote Premium users can also annotate PDFs in the desktop or mobile apps. Annotations let you add text, shapes, and arrows, and you can also highlight text. This is a great tool for providing feedback and edits on documents without having to print them out, or open up the PDF in another program to annotate it.
Evernote has offline mode, enabling users to edit notes on the go and have access to information even without a steady wifi connection. They also have a mobile application that increases ease of use and has gone through many updates to make it seamless and purposeful. Other helpful features in Evernote include an application-specific web clipper and the ability to annotate pages of a PDF within the Evernote ecosystem, making changes easily identifiable.
For example, the ability to annotate PDFs is a hugely important feature for research and note-taking purposes, and this functionality is not yet available in Scrintal. Integrations with a wide range of other apps like calendars, meeting platforms, and others that are used by knowledge workers on a daily basis are still being developed. Offline support and a mobile app are in the works; this is definitely a big focus for the development team in order to provide a competitive experience with other note-taking apps and be a more commensurate alternative to Evernote.
The hierarchical structure of a network on the platform can help cultivate a thesis; this feature is not present in Evernote. An important future feature would be the ability to annotate documents like scholarly papers, as Evernote does have.
Evernote is a note-taking app with myriad features and many different kinds of integrations, allowing users to keep their ideas, references, reminders, and events in one place. The notes can be linked, tagged, and searched; PDFs can be annotated within the app to prevent switching back and forth between applications.
With the paid versions of Evernote, you can also search and sort through Microsoft Word docs and PDFs, as well as annotate PDFs. The document scanning feature extends this to business cards, receipts, menus and other printed documents.
I was disappointed to discover that the word processing capability of onenote wasnt suitable for academic writing. The one thing I needed was the ability to add footnotes. Im assuming evernote is the same? Does anyone have any suggestions how to overcome this?Should I stick to folders and word documents?Thank you for the comprehensive review.
Thanks for the article. If Evernote upgraded their basic inknote feature, then it would be even better. It used to be great when you could sync Samsung notes to evernote. Do you know any solutions that have great ink note capability and file management? OneNote writing capability is OK, but the file management system is limited.
Moreover, Markup Hero enables you to annotate images and PDF's from any source: Screenshot, Upload, Copy and Paste or URL. And Markup Hero's rapidly growing list of canvas tools outshines Skitch by a long shot. 2ff7e9595c
