create a pdf from notes on IOS 14

I used to be able to write a note and then turn it in a PDF straight through my notes app.

That option is not available anymore or is there something that I am missing ?

Why the added complexity? As Denkoden points out above, there are added steps now. That’s not an upgrade. And strange that the functions in Mac OS and IOS are becoming more and more dissimilar. On a Mac: File > Export as PDF. On iPhone: share > Markup > done > save to PDF. This is not Apple user-friendliness. Is it just me, or do others often find themselves in these forums looking for answers to simple tasks that have gone missing or moved? It feels like it’s been getting worse over the last 2-3 years.

Tap share > Print > Pinch OUT on the thumbnails from the print screen


Now it’s open as a PDF. Just tap share again and save file to wherever you want to.


Once you get the hang of it you’ll be able to save anything as a PDF in seconds. I do it for receipts all the time.
