Saving Notes Scan to Photos?

Scanned documents appear to be saved as PDF files. Atleast that is the format used when sharing to Mail or saving to the Files app.
Here are a few options that may work for you.
Firstly you can download a free app such as ‘PDF to image’. Then when you long press on the scanned document and press share > copy to PDF to image it will instantly save the file as an image in the Photos app. Each page of a PDF will be a saved as a seperate image.
I have no previous experience with this app other than just downloading and testing it out now. It seems to work well. Here is the App Store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pdf-to-images/id838866948?mt=8
Otherwise you can always use the “take photo” option in notes app instead or take a screenshot of the scanned docoument when in fullscreen. Alternatively you could use a third party document scanner app which allows you to save directly to photos app.
Hope that helps. Let me know how you go.
