The exception is that you could likely get HTML exported files into Word without much fuss, then from there into just about anything else, but the workflow might be a bit onerous. This could be extremely frustrating from a UX standpoint, as users expect their notes to look more or less the same on export, but in the end some might look terrible! Then begins the trial and error process of figuring out how to manipulate the troublesome note so that it exports properly, and probably failing at that. Pages is especially hard since it is a highly proprietary format and Word is not much better, and both will very likely produce highly inconsistent and likely terribly erroneous results with most things that aren't just straightforward plain text. The HTML and XML are the most straightforward because the results will almost always be predictable regardless of content. Plain and rich text are reasonably easy to export, but web clippings and other stuff that might have some underlying HTML is a bit more of a challenge. There are some challenges with export due to the richness and variability in note content. Hope other members can share their thoughts and tips too.Įvernote is tight-lipped about their development plans so whether they are working on more or not is mostly a matter of just waiting and seeing.

Again, copy and paste is not really a productive way. I want to be able to compile professionally formatted documents using data in my Notebook. Other export options like to Word or Pages format should also be considered - so that I can do further formatting and word processing with the information captured in my Notebook. This is becoming a concern and driving my decision if I should continue using Evernote after the current subscription expires. I am wondering if Evernote is planning more export options. I know I can 'print' it to PDF in OS X, but this will be a clumsy way of export for multiple notes, or a whole Notebook. It will be difficult to ask to all my co-workers and associates to use Evernote just to read a piece of my work. I hate the folder think with HTML export. There is apparently also no 'archive' function for notes/Notebooks.Įven on individual note basis, the only options I have are to export as Evernote xml or HTML format. When a project is complete I would like to export the *WHOLE* Notebook to PDF (like an e-Book) but don't know how.

Over time, I have more notebooks and some have hundreds of notes in it. I have been using Evernotes for 2 years (Premium Accounts), and lately have another premium account for my wife.
