Update: Version 1.7.2 addresses PDF error messages

A number of users have reported PDF-related error messages when upgrading to our previous release (1.7.1). Today’s update (1.7.2) addresses this issue. Here’s an explanation of what was happening and what to expect from now on.

Whenever possible, Evernote indexes your PDFs looking for searchable text. In some cases, Apple’s built-in PDF handling functionality would encounter a problem finding text inside the PDFs, so we added an error message alerting you to this problem. Unfortunately, some users would become inundated with these popups. This is now fixed.

To be clear, this error message does not indicate a loss of data. It simply states that there was an issue finding text within the PDF.

In today’s release (1.7.2), we have addressed the multiple popup issue. We will still display an error message if a new PDF proves problematic.

    I want to do handwriting with Mac. For me that’s cool :)

    +1 native linux version…apparently newest version is no longer incompatible with wine.

    ever since the update it starts, pops up a note, then crashes. Kinda got screwed over in a presentation. Can’t afford to ever rely on it again. My mistake I guess.

    The present version of Evernote is impossible to to installed and urn properly on a 10.4.11 of Mac OS X. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who are using this version and they are having the same problems when trying to run Evernote 1.7.1-2. Would it be possible like you did with Windows, to leave the option of operating with a previous version of Evernote, one that does accept this rather spread version of Mac (10.4.11).

    Thanks,

    Lea

    HELP!
    Evernote refuses to launch. I’ve installed latest version, restarted, tried everything and still no luck. I can see my notes online, so know they’re there, but it’s really starting to waste my time now.
    Any help gratefully received.

    Really disappointed this does not work with 10.4.11.
    The download page I was on said 10.4.6 was all that was required.
    Is there a previous version that can be downloaded?

  • wileybadger

    Guess I should have come here first. I just installed and it does not work. I would have thought it would have been fixed by now. Wish I hadn’t updated my MAC before I downloaded EVERNOTE

    After auto-update on mac evernote is totally dead. Really frustrating.

  • JB
