Apple Notes Dark Mode PDF Export

Exporting Notes (or other documents) as a PDF from the Print Options dialogue will always produce a document with dark text on a light background. This is behaviour is not configurable.

I found an alternative is if you go to settings on your iPad/iphone to >accessibility>display and text size>smart invert. It will turn the background to black and text to white. It doesn’t save it in a pdf but it is a temporary trick :)

I’ve tried reversing the colors, but somehow the values are messed up in relation to color.

I make a lot of art on the notes app (in dark mode) but the only consistent way of exporting I’ve found is just screenshotting and editing it back together. Which makes me wonder; why can’t we just export notes like we see them?

here’s an example; the pictures on the right were exported normally and then manually flipped.

Also, I don’t see a PDF option on my phone, is that desktop only?

Also also; it seems that exporting often creates these kinds of lines that weren’t visible, does anyone know why?

Exporting PDF doesn’t work at all at my end. I end up with 1-2 empty pages. Tried to export to other applications, but can’t find a free one, most are paid, so it kinds of defies the point, use free Notes and pay to export it… Can you share what did you use to export notes?

BTW, idea of reversing colors seem to be a good idea. Granted, a workaround but it seems it might be a way. But first I need to be able to export note at all :)

Once you share your note to a different app you should be able to view it in dark mode but if you are sharing your note to a printer the background will always be white with black text so when it is printed it doesn’t use up all of your ink. I hope this helped.

thank you very much that done the trick , perfect solution THANKS :))
