I just started using Notes (El Capitan) and have noticed this problem: if I drag a multi-page pdf file onto Notes in the Dock, the file appears in the Notes app, but only the first page.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
TIA
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Here's a work-around. View thumbnails in Preview, and drag the thumbnails one at a time into your note.
Although this works, it's really a poor solution for getting PDFs into Notes if you have many multi-page documents. Between not being able to capture web pages to Notes -- only URLs -- and not being able to store large PDFs easily, I guess that I'll have to stick with Evernote -- which is fine, but it would have been nice to have used an Apple app.
Thanks for the response.
Same here. I just switched from Evernote to Apple Notes because Evernote free is going away. But disappointing that Notes is not as useful for this reason.
I just made this migration from Evernote. My multi-page PDFs also show only the first page in Notes, but they open the full PDF doc (all the pages) when I tap on the file on my iPhone. So it gives me the complete PDF, just not in the Note. Seems to work okay. My bigger issue is the loss of inserted tables in Evernote.
