So in your file (PDF in this case), hit 'Print' as if you were actually printing it. But now change the printer to "Print to OneNote" or something like that. I know that when I was playing with this two years back, 64-bit version OSes didn't have this option but there's workaround for this. Let me know how it goes and I'll help you from there!
Edit: The printer you are changing to is "Send to OneNote". Something along those lines.

I'm till unsure where to put the "send to onenote"
Because instead of the print option mentioned innate an ok button which seems to head straight for the printer instead having option where to print

So make sure you do File -> Print so you get the print dialog. That's where you can change which printer you are printing to.
You don't put "Send to OneNote" anywhere, it should be an option. Attached is what you should be looking for. If you don't see it, there's a workaround I can tell you about.

From what I remember there should no additional setup. If you have a 64-bit version OS, for whatever reason, this option is unavailable.

That's the software you're going to want to make it all work. It's actually more powerful than the default. This is probably the most common issue people run into when trying this for the first time.
The other thing is a missing driver and what not (messed up installation). So you can try to reinstall Microsoft Office. Or try what they suggest here: http://support.microsoft.com /kb/952216

The previous version they are referring to is the software itself, version 1.0.
Edit: For clarification, you're just installing a tool that will allow you to "Send to OneNote". You don't have to do anything to OneNote.

If your Windows is a 64-bit and you have installed your Microsoft Office on the 64-bit part of your computer then your Print to OneNote 2007 will not work. This is a known issue with the program but was fixed in the Office 2010.
You can either,
1. Uninstall Microsoft office 2007 and then re install it all ---- but choose the 32-bit installation NOT the
64-bit installation this time. (this will give you the option to print to OneNote 2007 when you print) .
2. Purchase Microsoft Office 2010 (titles has it for really cheap) and you can choose either the 32 or
64-bit option at the beginning of your Office software installation.
I would not try any hacks out there to get the 2007 64-bit to work as they don't work well and are really complicated.
Hope this helps

You've got a point about it being third-party and all, but I can say from experience what I have linked to works like a charm.

particle, I am sure that it would help if you could elaborate on exactly which third party software you are using that makes it easy to enable and use the Print to OneNote 2007 on a 64-bit install.
Also, if you wished to outline the steps needed to make it work, that would be awesome : )

^ above is the website that carries all the information and downloads you would need to enable Send to OneNote 2007 with 64-bit Windows. Instead of actually enabling it, the program makes use of the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer".
You will use this printer to print your file, spit out a .xps file out in the folder the program designates and the program will prompt you to choose some options and you're done.
I think the steps found in the website are pretty clear. If anyone needs clarification I am more than willing to help.
Edit: added what the program is actually doing.

I too installed that software, and if I had been more patient I think it would have been a good alternative solution, however I have no patience for multi-step things.
I know however that many people on the net found this solution to work well for them, so thanks for sharing : )
