Send File to OneNote

[jsprague]

I am having trouble printing to OneNote 2007 beta. I can insert an entire
file as a printout just fine (and have previously had to uninstall ON 2007,
get rid of my send to ON 2003 powertoy, and reinstall ON 2007), but I cannot
take a larger file and print it to ON 2007 in chunks. For instance, I want
to print pages 1 - 23 of a pdf document, so I went into the document, went to
print, told it I wanted pages 1 - 23, selected Send to Microsoft OneNote, and
hit print. It told me "OneNote cannot find a page on which to insert your
printout. Navigate to a page in your notebook, and then try again." I have
created a page in the section where I want the file to go and have navigated
there before switching over to the pdf document. I also tried going into the
properties then advanced on the print screen and selecting the folder section
where I want the file to go as the "default folder". What am I doing wrong,
here? I thought I'd take some advice and try printing larger files to
OneNote in sections for better note-taking.

I tried sending a .jnt file to OneNote and I get the same error message as I
did with the .pdf file. My biggest problem with the Journal file, however,
is when I try to insert the whole file as a printout, it only inserts the
first page of the Journal document! Do I have a setting wrong, here?

FWIW:
Printing from Journal into ON sends all of the pages of a Journal
documents on my machine(s).

Okay - from looking around for the error message other places online, I went
into Tools, Options, Filing Rules, and changed the printouts to print to the
current page. So far, so good. What was wrong with the default settings?
Is there a problem with the page it was trying to send it to?

I believe that you are having this problem, I am just not sure why. I just
tried this and it works fine for me. Using the default filing rule
(printouts get inserted in the Unfiled section), I opened a 66 page pdf,
clicked the radio button to print pages 1-66, changed it to print pages 1-10,
picked Send to OneNote from the list of printers, and pressed Print. This
printed 10 pages to a new page in my unfiled notes section. sorry that
doesn't help you, but at least you seem to have found another way to do it.

As you meanwhile detected how to solve the main problem (target of the
printed image):
Printing a whole PDF or only parts of it (Acrobat allows to select
which pages to print [contrary to ON where a selection of which parts
of imported documents to be printed is missing]) does not make any
difference.
