1/ A lot of ppl have been asking about PDF reading workflow for personal knowledge management. Here is the super simple one that fulfills all my needs. Start by creating a Resource folder on Dropbox with PDFs I want to read. Access it via @PDFExpert6 file browser
2/ Open a PDF and use highlight feature to highlight passages you want to keep
3/ When finished, tap three dots and then “Email.” For some reason the option to export only highlights doesn’t appear when I tap “Share”
4/ Next, tap “Annotations Summary” which exports highlights, plus the highlighted PDF as an attachment. Best of both worlds
5/ This will generate a new email with the highlighted passages in the body. Email it to your designated Evernote Import Email, which you can find in settings (I recommend saving this to your contacts)
6/ Sync Evernote and it will be created as a new note. Now you can do progressive summarization
7/ At the bottom of the note the original PDF will be attached if you need to dive deeper
8/ Opening it you will see all your original highlights in context
