When I export a note that was written with my Apple Pencil on my iPad to a pdf on my Mac, the handwritten text is upside down in the pdf version. I have Monterey 12.6 on my Mac and an iPad Pro IOS 15.7. How do I correct this problem?
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell
Hi aleida528,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We'd like to learn more about your issue. Just to clarify, are you using iCloud to transfer the note to your Mac from your iPad and then exporting the PDF on your Mac? If so, are these the steps you're following? Import and export notes on Mac
"
Export a note
You can export notes as PDF files.
on your Mac, click the note you want to export."
If so, what application are you using to view the PDF? Does it appear upside-down in all apps you view the PDF in? For example, if you view it in Preview? The answers to these questions can help us determine what may be happening.
Take care.

I have the same problem. Notes typed or drawn on Notes are saved correctly to files from the iPad but if I use the Export to PDF on my computer (linked via iCloud) the hand drawn notes are saved upside down in mirror where the notes that are just typed are Exported to PDF correctly.
Okay so I deleted the notes app, and then reloaded it and let it resync with iCloud and then made a new drawing with my pen and it still saved upside down from my MacBook pro. So did a complete erase of iPad, reloaded from iCloud, made another doodle and it still saves upside down from MacBook pro and from iMac. Upside down on both preview and adobe reader. - any other ideas - seems like a problem with the Notes app itself?
I fixed it by upgrading to OS ventura - not the iPad after all?
