Hi Rob,
i use a Brother MFC too, and as EL, I set up the Custom Scan Target Application to Evernote. Only I chose the JPG format to make my scans searchable. As I understand, the free account doesn’t search the content of PDFs but it does JPGs. I’ve noticed that information from PDFs receipts I get, such as receipts from the Apple Store, the information IS searchable unlike the ones I scan myself.

EL, when you do this is the PDF searchable, meaning is it included in the results of an Evernote search? I’ve found that my scans are not when I scan from my MFC as a PDF to the desktop and then place in Evernote.

I have a fijistu fi-5120C scanner. Can I scan directly into Evernote with this scanner?

Can I selectively send documents scanned into Scansnap Organizer to Evernote. Can I setup ‘Action’ button for Evernote, that way I want to send only select documents from Scansnap Organizer to Evernote. Any help is appreciated.

Joe, you can set up the ScanSnap to scan to Evernote. I made a video that shows how: http://www.documentsnap.com/scansnap-evernote-chocolate-peanut-butter/

Echoing Mr. Robert Follis… Still no Mac support for this utility? Or are we just not seeing it?

I have Scan Snap S300 and can scan directly to Evernote, which is great. How do I edit the note after it’s scanned? For instance, if I duplex scan a magazine article and want to delete the full page ads.

Thanks!

Anyone notice the scanned image was already on the Mac screen before the scanning was finished? Hmmmmm

Gee… I buy a $400 scanner after it was suggested by Evernote to find I cannot scan to my Mac. Even after the video says you can. However the video, they scan to PC, then Evernote copies to Mac and iPhone.

Its been since 2/8/2010 that the first comment was posted on here, its now 8/27/10 and Still no Mac Support????

Come on Evernote, step it up. The image capture solution you point out sucks and don’t work like it’s supposed to.

Another way to avoid the ini file, and get the ability to rename…

Scan to folder but pick the parent folder. For example, create a folder called ‘scans’ and a subfolder called ‘bizcards’. “Scan to folder” ‘scans’, then name the file, browse down to the subfolder ‘bizcards’ and save the file. Now you’ve renamed it and put it into the correct folder. The INI process occurs in the ‘scans’ folder.

Here’s some tuning info with a pro and a con:

I’ve set my scansnap to scan to file, instead of folder. I’ve disabled the rename file on scan option. This drops the file with the timestamp name into the folder of my choice, but without the ini file getting into evernote. The reason the ini is getting sucked in, is (I suspect) because of the delay while the popup dialog is open waiting for you to accept the scan.

pro: no ini files
con: no preview of scan, no ability to rename the scan before it gets to Evernote.

Anthony,
Your use-case rocks! Managing my notes flow is now MUCH easier with my scansnap. I have docs at work and docs at home. I want them to be separate notebooks and now I can do that.

Thank you for taking the time to post.

Steve,

I like you have Cardscan. I don’t know any way to scan without using their software. I too wish there was a way and it could then be exported to Evernote.

I do mine a bit differently. Within SnapScan I create a SnapScan Profile that sends the scans to a certain folder that coincides with Names I have for each notebook:

-Notes
-Checks
-Bills
-Etc.
- …and so on…

In the Evernote application, under account properties, on the file import tab, I have Evernote Monitor each folder and import the scans into it’s notebook according to which folder it’s in.

The only issue I have had, is that Evernote will also import the temp files that Acrobat creates while writing to that folder. I have to go in every so often and delete them from my Evernote. As a workaround, I usually don’t keep Evernote open while I’m scanning. Once I finish scanning everything (I usually build up a pile of “to scan” documents) I start up Evernote and it imports all my scans (without the temp files because they are deleted by Acrobat once the PDF creation is completed).

Works on my Brother MFC. I set up a custom scan profile — chose Scan to Image, designated Evernote as the target application (the machine found Evernote on its own and included it among my options on the target application drop-down), chose scan to .pdf, and presto.

The latest version of the profile maker has been updated to work on 64-bit versions of windows. Please re-download from the link above if you experienced some issues.

I own a card scan scanner for scanning business cards. Is there a way for me to get this scanner to work with Evernote?

By: John Pearce

John Pearce — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:56:47 +0000

The EXE failed to install on Windows 7 HP with an error message about a failure of Profilemaker.

But question: What advantage does this have over just scanning to a watched folder. That’s what I’ve been doing, and it’s working very well.

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I will try to answer everyone’s questions as one post:

@Dirk – we have a mac app, and the scanner integration works on a mac. We only don’t have an automatic script to set it up, but the manual instructions are short, find them here: evernote.com/fujitsu

@Mark M – i was incorrect. There are versions of Mac ScanSnap software that didn’t come with OCR. Sorry.

@eric kaufman @grehorst @juice – you are right, there are problems with running it on 64-bit machines. We’ll check with fujitsu if this is possible to fix.

@Andy – the solution works on a mac, please see above.

@Ron – import folders take more steps to setup, but will essentially do this same thing

What is the difference with using to import folder into evernote (which you use as an output folder for your scanner)??
