Hi Vincent,

According to this page: http://www.evernote.com/about/developer/mac.php I think it should be possible. Change this section:

tell application "Evernote"
activate
create note from file this_item
end tell

To this:

tell application "Evernote"
activate
set notebook1 to create notebook "MyNotebook"
create note from file this_item notebook notebook1
end tell

I haven't personally tested it, but give it a try and hopefully it will work!

Hi, great little script. Just one question: how to change the script so that the scans get sent to an Evernote notebook other than the default notebook. Is it possible to change to script so that it sends the scans to a specified notebook ?

Just found out that you can open the PDF file in Evernote with application 'convert to searchable PDF' (if you have fineReader installed), it will convert the PDF file to searchable PDF file in place inside Evernote.

Great to hear it worked. Hopefully they'll add it at some point because it's obviously a useful feature.

thanks for this. I don't have the snapscan but the applescript to create the watched folder on Mac was useful. Really don't know why they don't have that functionality in the Mac version.

Weird, I could have sworn I fixed that before but maybe not. It's fixed now. Sorry about that!
