Color handwritten notes in FreeForm turn black when exported or printed

My handwritten notes on FreeForm are in color, but when exported to pdf or print mode they are black, images are still in color. I tried restarting the computer, turning iCloud on and off but still can't print in color.

Scan with notes then print When i scan a document with Apple Notes, it looks in notes like a scanned document, when I try to print it, it looks in the print preview on the screen like a photo not like the scanned document plus it adds a blank page (I belive the blank page is the note area around the scan), when it actually prints, it prints the photo including all the space around what I cropped in the scan document. Example: I scan a page in a book, cropping the area around the section I want to keep in the scan. When I go to print, it both shows in the print preview and actually prints the areas I cropped out and it looks like a color photo as opposed to how it looks in the note as a scan. Basically I want to scan a document then print it exactly how it looks scanned. Please help, thanks!

How to fix black highlight in .docx file exported from Pages? When I export a document to docx using Pages and send it to another device both android or iphone, all texts are highlighted in black. I tried not using dark mode but still doesn't work (the Pages is already set as 'no fill on background' and 'no highlight'). Is there a way to fix this?
