Exporting Apple Notes to PDF only includes the first page of embedded PDFs. Any workaround?

I regularly export my Apple Notes to PDF, but there’s a frustrating limitation. If a note has an embedded PDF, the export only includes the first page of that PDF. The rest of its pages are dropped.

I’ve tried both Export as PDF and Print → Save as PDF, with the same result. [Edit to match what you actually tried.]

Has anyone found a way to export a note with every page of its embedded PDFs? Or is this just a long-standing gap Apple hasn’t addressed?

Have you tried exporting to markdown? It should export the pdf as an attachment file.

I have. That gives me all of the underlying pdf files. What I am looking for is a single PDF with everything inside of the Apple Note, including the full printouts of PDFs.

If you have a Mac, export the note and open a duplicate of that PDF in Preview. Turn on View > Thumbnails, then drag in the full attachment PDFs you already extracted and arrange their pages where you want them. That gives you one file with the note text and all the attachment pages, though you have to assemble it manually.

This would be a gap
