Print the Evernote Note List with SnagIt [Printing]
Sometimes, like during the Weekly Review, I like to have a hardcopy of the note list (the top pane in the Evernote desktop client).
There’s no native option to print the note list but don’t let that stop you.
I use a “scrolling window” profile in the screen capture program SnagIt to capture the note titles I want to print.
In snagit I crop the list to only have the title and tags columns visible; you might have your own preference.
The note font is quite small but before printing you can play with the page setup: stretching the image makes it more readable at times.
During the Weekly Review I print out two of these lists: one with personal to do’s/someday’s, and one with work related to do’s/someday’s.

Great idea. Also tested and works with the Fasstone Capture app. Too bad both apps only grab a screen shot. would be nice if it was able to grab the info as text.
Thanks,

Well, that’s where it gets geeky, I guess; you could upload the image to Google Docs which can OCR it… See: Perform OCR with Google Docs – Turn Images Into Editable Documents
For me having the screenshot is enough as my only purpose is to get it printed :)
Didn’t think to mention it in my previous message, but did you know that there’s a print template file that you can put/adjust in the EN app folder to control the print functionality of EN?

I ran across it while search the EN site for a way to do what your post did. It works, but it’s a bit ‘Geeky’ – to use the word from your past post.
I have been experimenting with having two of the HTML files in the EN folder and just renaming the one I want (Titles only vs. full note listing).

You may want to consider an article on this:

and this

I was able to move a lot of documents from my PC to Google Docs, convert them simply and easily to .pdf and them move them quite effortlessly to Evernote.
I love Evernote.. and keep finding more and more ways to love it.. some thanks to your blog.
Keep up the good work.

@Wayner One of the Evernote factlets I keep in Evernote, yes :) Thanks for reminding me! I’ve used a customized template a few times but that was more to play with.
@Tom Good idea, Tom. And yes, Evernote is quite versatile, isn’t it?
Really nice blog you have yourself there, by the way. Subscribed right away.
Many Thanks – really useful article.
Does anyone know how to capture a scrolling window like this on a mac? Snagit and Skitch don’t seem to do that scroll thing :(
