My biggest gripe with the clipper when used on pdf's is the lack of any metadata searching in the pdf for a title suggestion.

I hate that I have to type in the title of the pdf as the title is usually "PDF - www.example.com".

Yeah, it seems like it would be pretty easy to grab a meaningful title. Hell even the filename would be better in most cases.

OTOH, it's the best web clipper -- even with the stupid PDF name thing -- of any of the notetaking apps. So I can see why they don't put a lot of developer time into it... they're already beating the competition.

If OneNote had a decent web clipper that was on par with Evernote's, I'd probably switch: EN has done some shifty stuff, killing features and then selling them back to users as premium-tier stuff when they get pressed for money, and I can imagine that's going to happen again soon.

I agree, but I'm ok with adding a title manually.

Speaking of missing features, what I do miss though is the automatic title naming based on current calendar events. It was a perfect way of tracking meeting notes, but that feature has been removed.
