How can I export handwritten apple notes from iPad to Mac in transparent png format?
Hello,
Issue
I recently updated my iPad to iPadOS 16 and now I am not able to export my handwritten notes from my Mac notes app to my desktop as a transparent png. It seems as if the whole drag and drop feature has been removed from the Mac notes app as a whole.

How it used to work
I used to draw notes on my iPad, it would sync through iCloud to the notes app on my Mac. From there I could drag and drop my drawing from the notes app to my desktop. It would automatically transform the drawing into a transparent .png file.

(Semi) workaround
The only option now is to go to Archive > Export as pdf. But then it adds a white background to the note. Furthermore, lots of programs do not support pdf as an image input, so I have to convert the .pdf into a .jpg or other more broadly accepted image format.

Ironically I cannot upload pdf's here, so I have made a screenshot:
Current OS
