Yup. I had about 2k pdfs.

Steep learning curve but fun to use once you got how it works.

If you configure paperless correctly, it will tag your documents based on their content. I told you how I batch exported my pdfs from EN - importing is a whole new story. Tons of docs and howtos around.

Notes, todos, stuff -> obsidian

Pdfs -> paperless

😊

My first idea was to use obsidian as note and pdf app. I did add some metadata to the notes, but I never used them - full text did it for me. Hence the obsidian path.

There are plugins for obsidian that allow ocr stuff, but I don't use them. I kind of split my workflow.

Just found this:

I used yarle to convert evernote exports to obsidian. The pdfs will be accessible in the filesystem then.

I used to use evernote mainly to store OCRed pdfs with some metadata. Moved my workflow over to a self hosted paperless-ngx instance. I'll never go back.

🤣

Cheers mate!

OMG, your screenshot made me believe lemmy got its first ad (pubg).
