Scan with notes then print

Similar issue. Until Sonoma, I scanned documents with the iPhone Notes app and then easily saved the document as a PDF with the Mac Notes app (by right-clicking on the scanned document). That option no longer appears. I tried File>Export as PDF and only get the first page of the document plus the background as you noted.

My current workaround is to use the iPhone Notes app to save the document to Files (Share>Save to Files) and then rename it on the Mac. One downside is a unneeded text.txt file is also created when I save. Using Share>Print should help you if you can print from your iPhone.

I have the exact same problem. Before Sonoma I could print scans from the Notes app with a simple double click on the image in Notes. Made a quick and good PDF. Now with Sonoma I get the background of the entire photo, not the cropped scanned document. And, I can't find any work around to export or print a PDF. Anyone else found a fix? Thanks!

It never occurred to me to use Notes for scanning. I just tried it and I can say that there are a lot of scanner apps in App Store that do a much better job. I have used iScanner from BPMobile (beware many apps have the same name) for over 10 years and I'm very satisfied (this is not paid publicity and I have no affiliation with this company). I tried the one from Adobe also but I wasn't impressed enough to switch.

Once a year, I used the Notes scan on my phone, open on Macbook, then use for tax docs. Ok, new Macbookk here I am frustrated and searching...

Solution: on the one Community string, the Apple responder said...at the bottom!...use Files app.

YES, it works smoothly- in the overview, top right icon touch to open to Scan to .PDF, then labeled, then Airdropped to my Mac.

Whew.

Have you tried scanning with Preview instead? Is the result the same?

Good idea, but I'm trying to scan from my iPhone. No preview app there.
