If you have a Microsoft Surface, it's even faster if you configure the pen eraser button to open Sketchpad with just a click on the pen. This will also let you open up Sketchpad directly with that single click on the pen even if your Surface is in hibernation. Even something to take handwritten notes in onenote and import them automatically to Evernote. I have a great workaround going, which clearly rivals OneNote (except for the unlimited drawing space in OneNote, which doesn't go well with Evernote). It involves using the Windows Store app Drawboard PDF, which actually is an awesome PDF viewer and annotation app for touch devices, with a lot of 'hidden' features like instant touch access to multiple customizeable pen colors/sizes etc.

It also let's you use the eraser on the back of a Surface Pen, and like OneNote it 'remembers' single operations even after you have saved the note to Evernote, so that you can still delete a seperate pen line by just one eraser touch, even several days later.ġ. Open Microsoft Word and create an empty PDF with 1 or several empty pages, by using the 'Export' function from the 'File' menu.Ģ. Create a new note in Evernote, and attach the PDF file so that it shows a preview of the empty document. This note will be used as a template for new handwritten notes, by having copies ready for new notes.ģ. Install Drawboard PDF from the store if you haven't got it. (You won't be dissapointed even if you are using it just for PDF viewing, as it is much better than Acrobat Reader, Foxit, you name it)ĭouble click on the empty pdf in Evernote, and it will open in Drawboard PDF. To save your handwriting to Evernote, you just tap the hamburger menu and the save icon. It will immediatly show the changes in the Evernote note.Īfter you have closed Drawboard PDF you just open the file to make additional changes by double clicking the preview in Evernote once again.
