Is that true? This clearly looks like a multi-page PDF.

Single page PDF, whether it is displayed in Files app or Adobe Acrobat Reader.
PDF's aren't support in Photos, so once you go into the full page PDF section of the screenshot the OS removes that option, I would imagine you can save the PDF to Files or Books.
For those who have loaded the beta version of 13, I have two questions. First, is the PDF conversion stored as an individual file in Files? Second, is this local storage? My consuming need is for the iPad Files App to have true local storage, so I'm not tied to the cloud to access documents stored in Files.
Thanks man you Rock!! I was wondering I could easily do this from iOS 12 but I was getting a headache trying to do it now and with your simple explanation I just did it! Kudos to you! Gold!!!! Thanks 😊okay so let me give you a nice advice how "Creating a PDF" works in almost every situation:
Webpage for example: tap on the share-button and tap on "print". Now pinch out with two fingers the preview... tadaaaa there is your PDF and you can do whatever you want.
If you do it from a clean webpage links will be adopted. If you do it from the PDF Reader mode, links will disappear...
This works everywhere where you can print... enjoy

It creates a single PDF page, both on iOS 12 and on iOS 13.
Despite showing multiple mini pages on iOS 13 before you complete the procedure, it creates only one long PDF page.
It seems to be something wrong in iOS and iPadOS 13 because multiple mini pages are shown during the procedure but the final PDF consists of only one page. BUT it shows 1 of xx when opened afterwards although it consists of only one page.

Thank you.
I send to myself as a message to my phone number, but I guess you could use your email in messages as well. In the native messages app. When I really want to make sure something actually gets saved. I just saw an option where you can save things on your phone, that many people probably don't notice. The default option in saving to iPhone was to delete the file in one day. Pretty sure that's what it said. Anyway, I learned not to trust iBooks, or iCloud or Files long ago, but wanted to give a heads up.
