Notes app doesn't export multiple scans as a multi page PDF

I scanned multi-page documents using the Notes app in my Iphone. When I go to the Notes app on my Mac (synced through icloud, only the first page is there.


The Notes app used to upload multi-page scanned documents, which I could then export as PDFs.


How can I do this now?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.7

Hello FrankRooney,


On a Mac, you need to scroll to the right to see the other pages. You could also double-click the PDF title to open the PDF in Preview.

Scrollling works in the notes app on the iphone, but not on the desktop. The document is multi-page on the iphone where it was scanned, but only one page in the notes app on the desktop.

I did try exporting it to the files app in the iphone and emailing it to myself. In the iphone, the export was called a pdf, but on the desktop neither Acrobat nor Preview could open the file.
