Annotated a PDF file in Apple Notes disappears

If I annotate a PDF file in Apple Notes, I can't open it in Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer, and all my notes will disappear!

I'm using it to sketch my ideas and I need to transfer my sketches.


Is there any solution, or is it what it is?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.4

Have created a new note in the Notes application


Dragged a PDF created by exporting a single contact from Contacts application


Dragged the PDF into the new note


I can edit the note and add the red text in lower region of the PDF


The Note remain still in the Notes application and does not Disappear
