I scanned a 15 page document using NOTEs on my iPhone, I cannot export all pages to a PDF (only one page of the notes file is made into a PDF)

On the iphone you have to switch to attachment view on the three dots menu top right and then open the attachment at which point it separates the pages properly.

If you're in Notes on a MacBook, then you have to double click the attachment within the note to open a view that separates the pages before you export to PDF.

I had success by clicking on the "down carrot" next to the scan's name.

Then click "Open Attachment"

Highly frustrating, but the option of easy save as pdf with multiple pages is lost. Crazy as the original file is already a pdf with all pages You need.

My walk around is this, that I share the file as an email, from myself etc. This way I am receiving an email with ready multiple page pdf.

You can also download your pdf from "sent" box.

After you have the scanned documents in notes, on mac CMD+A to select all the pages, then copy and paste them into a new blank email. Notes automatically compiles all the pages into a .pdf.

I got it to work by printing the scanned document to may computer by air drop which saved it as a pdf the way it used to work. Hope this helps.

Scan-to-PDF in Notes on iOS 17 is profoundly broken. It's now essentially impossible to correctly export a multi-page PDF. If you do manage to do so by using macOS to "export" the document, it will revert to looking like a photograph. If you scan in landscape orientation, only the first page of the scan is rotated correctly. The first page is also visually smaller than subsequent pages.

It's a major regression of a feature that I used almost daily. My fear is that this broken feature will be ignored for months as is often the case with iOS / macOS regressions.

I don't have multi-page notes. On iOS 17.0.3, one can Share a note as Send a Copy and one of the default choices is Open in Pages (provided one has Pages v13.2 for iOS installed). This is for a text content, one-page Note. What happens when you follow that procedure with your 15-page Note?

One can also share Notes between iOS and macOS by enabling Notes on iCloud Drive via System Preferences/Settings on macOS.

Unlike MS Word v16.31 and later, Pages cannot open and convert any PDF document. You can drag/drop a PDF onto an open Pages document but only the first page of that PDF document object is available.

On Pages v13.2 on the Mac, once you have those 15 pages in a new Pages document, instead of using Send a Copy, just use File menu : Export To > PDF. See if all 15 pages make it into that PDF using that approach.

Word 16.31 and later can directly open and convert a PDF to .docx. Pages was not created to be a Word clone and Word may be the better tool for your needs going forward. Even Word on iOS may further simplify the workflow for you.

Truly the worst thing Apple did in a while. Scanned the documents before sending via mail and literally spent 30 mins trying to figure out how to export to PDF beyond first page. Completely ridiculous. I am on the latest Mac OS and iOS. Very upset and disappointed. RETURN NORMAL NOTES FUNCTIONALITY BACK!

Thank you for this workaround. This works for me as well. I have had the exact same problem as described above by the original author (scan created using iOS 17.1.2 and trying to expert that note on Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1).

And Word can save directly to PDF from the Save As menu item.
