Workaround for 'Send To OneNote' Issue on Vista 64Bit

- Warner Crocker

A short while ago word came down that there would not be a fix for those running Vista X64 machines for the missing Send to OneNote functionality until the next release of OneNote. Daniel Escapa of the OneNote team has posted a workaround that he uses that sort of kinda offers some help in the matter.

Essentially you install a converter program to output image files when you choose to “Print” and use this method to print a TIFF file into OneNote. The downside? The TIFF file isn’t OCR’d so if there is text invovled it won’t be searchable.

I’ll have to give this a try on the HP tx2051.

Sounds like copy and paste is a better workaround to me.

Wouldn't it just be easier to install a virtual PDF printer, print to PDF and then drag the PDF file into OneNote. That way the OCR would do its thing. (Actually I don't know why the OCR wouldnt work on a TIFF or a JPEG image).

According to Daniel's post, the OCR technology uses the same print driver that won't install under 64-bit.

agreed though, I think print to pdf would be a lot easier.
