Description
Updated on January 4, 2012 to Version 2.0 (Beta 1)Version 3.3 of the Evernote Client may have errors which prevent this AppleScript from working -- Click here for the latest update on the situation.
This Evernote to MacJournal Exporter AppleScript is a complete re-write of the 1.x version. To use it, just select the items you'd like to export from Evernote and run the script. PDFs are added directly and Non-PDF items will be transferred to MacJournal as "Web Archives" in order to preserve as much formatting as possible. Evernote meta information (such as tags, location data, creation date) should also come along for the ride!
Some caveats: This version doesn't have any error handling, GROWL notifications, and I haven't tested it thoroughly (hence the "Beta 1" designation).
Please let me know how it works for you in the comment thread below -- Hope you enjoy!

Justin, the body of the entry this creates in MacJournal cannot be accessed — cannot click into it, add or edit text, etc. The “editable” checkbox for the entry is checked, so we should be able to make changes or edit. (MacJournal 6.0.7b1 on 10.8.2 — it’s beta, so this is probably a MJ issue.)
I’m not able to test this at the moment, but it might have to do with items being imported as “Web Archives”. I chose this route to preserve formatting, but it may mean that MJ can’t edit.
I think that’s it Justin. Thanks for the script.
Can we fix this? This script isn’t worth very much to me if I can’t edit the result.
This is a pretty old script but, if enough people raise their hand, I’ll circle back around and take a look to see if there is a new way of doing this. 🙂
I’m interested. Maybe use Brett Terpstra’s Marky? The DEVONthink browser clipper is now using Marky, for example.
Sorry for the delay in responding! I’ll look at this and see what is possible…
Is there an upcoming version for Evernote 5.5.1?
Can’t promise when an update will be ready, but I am working on one! 🙂
