How to export a Note to an image file (or PDFs that aren't miniature versions of the files)?

That's the pdf it creates if I select the note (in the list of notes), go to File > Export to Pdf. If I open the PDF, that's how it appears (as the small image with a grey outline and the title at the top, in the corner of a large white screen). Your method worked to export it as the original image but that's what happens when I choose to export it via the file menu. I'm not adding the note to anything else or anything. That's just what it creates

Thanks, that did work. But that doesn't mean that it's logical that there should be a different result if I select the file from the Notes "browser" and click export or if I open it and then export it. Why would that result in different exports? It's the worst UI and the fact that I need to ask in a forum just to figure it out is proof that it's not at all clear. Just my searching to find the answer found countless other people asking "How can I export a jpeg from Notes?". Maybe Apple should add an "export as jpeg" option (that functions the same whether the file has been opened or not)! Anyway thanks

I'm not doubting you but I don't understand it. Why would I want it presented like that? I haven't copied an image and pasted it on a larger background or anything. It's not reflecting the original image and it's never been altered to display it like that. I'm not sure why simply clicking "Export" changes it. I can do the same in Preview- I could export an image as PDF or JPEG. It doesn't position it in the corner of a large screen if I export it

Thanks, but how can you control how the exported PDF would be displayed? Say for example, you wanted a header and paragraph above that scanned document? What determines that the scanned document will appear in the upper left corner?

Thanks, I realize you didn't code it. This is how it was exported and that's not at all how it looked right there on the screen in front of me. It was a full screen but my pdf of it is 1/4th the size
