PDFs and image files in Notes

When dragging PDFs or image files into a note in Notes currently the whole of the space in the note is taken up with a preview of the document. Is there a preference setting or method of doing it so that only the document icon appears in the note rather than a preview of the file? Any input on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Notes App not scanning as pdf I have just scanned a few documents using the Notes App but I have experienced 2 issues that I haven't been able to find an answer to. In the Notes App I have created a new Note, selected the camera, selected scan document and on all occasions the files have been saved as .jpegs instead of .pdfs. I want any scanned documents to be saved as a pdf - otherwise I would just take a photo if I wanted files saved as .jpeg. The other issue I'm finding confusing is how to save multiple pages as one .pdf. When I used the above procedure for a 2-page document and allowed the 2nd page to be scanned automatically, I expected it to be saved as a single 2-page .pdf file but it didn't - it saved as 2x separate .jpeg files. So, if someone could please tell me how to save scanned documents as .pdf by default and how to save multiple page documents as a single .pdf, I would appreciate it. Thank you

Editing PDFs in Notes I have imported a PDF into a Note, and every time I go to annotate the PDF I am told "the original document can't be change, so a duplicate with your changes has been created." I understand that Notes makes a duplicate in the Notes file tree upon importing media files, but is there any way to edit that file once it's in Notes? Annotations made from my iPad do not cause a duplicate to be created, only when done from my Mac does it happen.

Preview annotations disappearing Is there a reason my notes from annotated pdf files disappear when I reopen the pdf on the preview app? Right now I use a 3rd party pdf reader app to avoid this very issue at the moment, but I'd prefer Preview to that if this issue can be fixed. Is there something I can do to fix this?

About the best you can do is to CTRL-Click the photo in Notes and select view as small image. This will eliminate the picture taking up the Note page, but still allows you to select the photo to make it bigger.

Jim, many thanks for your advice which does exactly what I hoped. Simple, but effective and a solution I would have spent a long time finding on my own. Much appreciated.
