Joplin 2.11.11 (German version)
Win 11

Hi,
i imported 15k notes from Evernote without any issue to Joplin.

But after playing around, i found out, that the preview panel don´t show PDF, Word, Excel files.
JPG works fine.
I can see the blue file name, but when i click on it, nothing happens.
I tried different editor views (md on/off, changed layout views)
Right click - "open" - nothing happens ...
PDFviewer in the options section is activated

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your kind help and greetings from Germany
Johann

Can you export to JEX and share one of the problematic notes? By share, I mean drag and drop it to attach it to a forum post.

Hello Johann! Greetings from Canada. :canada:
I too am making the move from Evernote to Joplin - with over 50,000 notes and 20+ users - and have the same issue.
Joplin version 2.12.15 running on Windows 10 Home version 21H2
I will be following this conversation closely. We have been using Evernote as our electronic filing system and most notes have an attached pdf which we are accustomed to seeing opened in the note. I hope that Joplin does not require us to open each attached pdf to see it. That would be a game changer.

Did you import your notes as markdown or as HTML?

It seems like notes imported as HTML have the problems described above.

They work nicely if imported as markdown.
