iOS 27 update breaks PDF export of notes with tables in Notes app
I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the way the Notes app now handles PDF exports after the latest iOS update.
Before this update, exporting a note containing tables was simple and seamless. I could simply select Print, and the entire note would be converted into a PDF while preserving the tables exactly as they appeared. It was quick, convenient, and required no additional steps or involving other apps.
Now, the tables disappear when I try to export the note, forcing me to find workarounds such as transferring the note to Pages or another application just to create a PDF that previously could be generated directly from Notes. This adds unnecessary steps, takes considerably more time, and disrupts my workflow.
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that many of the notes I use contain inventory information and are shared through collaborations with other employees. These employees depend on those notes and the information contained in them to have the necessary items and inventory ready on time for their scheduled dates. Having to transfer the information to another application and go through additional steps creates unnecessary delays and can affect the timing of the entire process.
What is especially disappointing is that this functionality worked perfectly before the update. I don’t understand why a feature that was already simple and functional has now become significantly more complicated. For me, this is a major inconvenience and a step backward in terms of usability and efficiency.
I sincerely hope Apple will look into this issue and restore the previous PDF export functionality, allowing tables to remain intact when using Print or Markup. I should not have to move my notes to another application just to accomplish something that Notes previously handled effortlessly.
This may seem like a small change, but when Notes is being used as part of a daily workflow and is shared with multiple people who rely on that information, the additional steps and delays make a significant difference.
Thank you for taking the time to address this issue. I really hope this can be corrected in a future update.
