Import Apple Notes images into Bear notes app

Anyone found a way to import Apple Notes WITH images into the Bear notes app? I can get the text of the Apple Notes into Bear with no problem. Would like to get the images along with the text. Ideas???

Export the Apple notes as PDF’s (The only option I believe)

I looked for a way to export my info from Notes around a year ago. I agree with @bowline, there is no good way to export your data. It only offers “print to pdf” for exporting as @Dave_Palmer mentioned. Note2Txt was the only other option I found. Neither worked well for me.

I had A LOT of info in Notes and eventually ended up printing each note I really needed to keep as a PDF - and tossed the rest. I saved the PDFs in Google Drive so they were full text searchable.

I been burned too many times by apps without a good export function. So today I use a combination of plain text files and PDFs for permanent info and Google Keep for everything else.

Apple Notes is a good app if it works for you, but it suffers, IMO, from “Hotel California syndrome”: “We are programmed to receive, You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave!”
