I have a note in the standard notes application, where there are bullet points, photos, font styles. As soon as I copy the note through CTRL + C and insert it by CTRL + V, for example, into the Word, there is only a naked text. When I try to convert to PDF, the program for some reason creates a PDF only from the photos in the note. Is there any way to save all the design works and get a normal converted document (DOC, DOCX, PDF is fine)?
iPhone SE, iOS 11.2.6
Numbered lists broke (pic below), but thank you, I guess it's best solution!
As a result, minimal efforts to preserve a complex note are as follows: delete images, save as text file on the iCloud Drive, reduce the normal document manually.
If you don't have access to a Mac that you could sign your iCloud ID into, then then only remedy that I can think of is to remove the images, and then put them back once you have created the PDF or Pages doc. I tested this on my iPhone 7Plus, and once I removed the photo, the rest of the note saved correctly as both a PDF and when I did a Save to Files and put it in my Pages folder.
Do you have a ton of photos in the doc, or could you add those after you got the body of the Note to a document format?

and "Create PDF".P.S.: when I did it at the first time, file wasn't created and empty window appeared with an error. So I did step 2. again, and I saw this parody of document.
Have you tried saving it to iCloud Drive instead (Files)? You can save it in any folder (I put mine in my Pages folder).
I just tried this on my iPhone, and when I saved it to Files (instead of as a PDF), and then saved it to the Pages Folder "On My Phone", I was then able to open it as a text file that was still completely formatted.
I then clicked on the ... at the top, and then from that menu clicked on Export, which gave me the option to export to PDF, Word, RTF, or ePub.
I think you would need to convert it to a file type for which you have compatible software on your device, although I was able to save it as a Word file to the Pages folder, and it did show up there as a Word document.

Print out your Notepad TXT file > scan it in [as instructed by your printer]> save it as a PDF file > Run Word > Open PDF file as Word > edit it as a Word Document.
I just tried this with a Note that I had bullets and a photo on my Mac. I selected the note, then went to File>Export to PDF and the PDF that it created looked exactly like the note. Are you doing this on a Mac?

You are most welcome. Sorry it wasn't easier. I can tell you that it was a whole lot easier on my Mac than on my iOS device. If you have a Mac that you can use, that might be the way to go next time 🙂

Ok, it's something, but still creepy and unreadable.
No, I need to do this without printing and other operations.
By the way, scanner recognition cannot guarantee good quality of final document.
No, Iphone SE.
Can you reformat the text once you get it into Word?
My note - lecture for semester. If it was little text, I would do as you said.
Which way did you do it? What were your exact steps?

Convert note to doc, pdf...
