Ability to Import PDF files into notes

18 votes

Some of my sources are only in PDF form and it would be really cool if I could just import them in without having to type the entire document

In comparing Dabble and Scrivener the biggest thing that is holding me back on switching to Dabble is the ability to import pdf files into the notes folder. While many people probably find the more advanced features in Scrivener to be the selling point I was primarily drawn to it for the ability to collate and view my research directly in the project view of a single app instead of having to bounce back and forth between multiple ones. I love being able to save some random factoid or article from a website as a PDF and import it directly into my research folder where it is easy to locate and view when I need it.
