To answer the question about Image Capture and the Automated Task line not showing up. I’m running mac os 10.6.7 and do not show the AT option. I selected Scan To: option. Navigate to Applications and select Evernote. All worked perfectly.

Thanks Simon. Works with Lion also.

I can attach multiple pages as a PDF file. Select “Combine into single document” in ImageCapture, and keep clicking the Paper Clip in Evernote for each new image.

This works great with my HP Photosmart C309a. I just followed what Simon suggested in his comment.

Hello there all you sick people (your sick economic terror system, I mean), trying to be ever so “productive” .

It is also possible to simply right-click within a new note window and then select “import image” (from camera or scanner).

Just had to select Evernote in applications for the folder option and it worked perfectly. Great tool. Scanned with an Epson wireless printer without a problem.

Thank you for the insight! Just scanned my first document directly into Evernote from my NeatDesk for Mac! This will be great for increased productivity!

I just got a new Panasonic all-in-one printer with a document feeder specifically for scanning items into Evernote. When using the document feeder, my image capture program on my iMac has an option to allow all pages scanned through the feeder to be part of a single document. Never saw this option before when I didn’t have a document feeder. That’s one way.

Only other way is to merge notes once in Evernote (as far as I can tell).

To scan to Evernote Desktop on Mac make sure you have downloaded and installed Evernote for Mac OS X. Then open the ScanSnap Manager (in \Applications\ScanSnap\). In ScanSnap Manager go to Application tab. In Application window select Add or Remove. Navigate to Evernote and Add. The rest is self-evident per the ScanSnap user guide.

For the people who don’t see a “Automatic Task” option, choose “Scan To” and select the Evernote application. That worked great for me on OS X 10.6.8.

I use IPhone for scanning papers. My favorite application is DocScanner as it has a quickscan option.
After scanning you just name it and send to Evernote.
The plus is that you can merge a few scans in one EN note.
I checked a few tools and this is works for me the best.

I should have added that Image Capture does not show the ScanSnap S1300 even though it is plugged in and on.

I have Evernote and a ScanSnap S1300. It does not show Scan to Evernote as an option. Nor does it have a way of adding Scan to Evernote as an option (I checked profile management). The fujitsu site only has instructions on adding evernote in a Windows environment.

I am using a MacBook Air with OS X 10.6.7.

Thanks, Ron

Works perfectly with Epson Workforce 500. Chose Evernote in the “Scan To” Field. Thanks for the great software!

I am having the same problem with image capture not showing an automatic task option. In addition to why this isn’t showing, is the script something that comes with evernote or do you need to make a task yourself?

Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know why the Automatic Task does not show up for some people? I am running 10.6.6 and I can select the app to scan to (thanks for the suggestion guys) but the automatic task option is not showing on my image capture.

This is fantastic. Now that I’ve got it set up to scan directly into Evernote, I’m wondering where we should save the file. In the ScanSnap setting tab, you have to select a place to save the document but since Evernote already saves a copy in the data file, it’s duplication to have it save another place as well. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I’m on a Mac.

Also, wondering if you could direct me to FAQ or tutorial about how/where all the local and online Evernote data gets saved. Right now my Evernote data file on my computer is over 1 GB. As I start scanning and saving everything to Evernote, it’s going to start eating up space. Any suggestions on the best practices for that as well?

Thanks!

I haven’t tried scanning into EverNote yet, but in reply to Brett and Ken. Wouldn’t it be easy to scan the two separate documents in one after the other and then hold shift and select the two notes, then right click “Merge Notes”. Not sure if this achieves what your after?

The only way I’ve been able to scan multiple page documents into Evernote is to scan each page and instead of keeping each page, I copy and paste the second page to the end of the first Evernote page, then delete the second scanned page. A bit labor intensive, but it works.
