Convert on Android

The new Android app makes it easier to export notes to PDF. Simply open a note and tap the three dots on the top.

Then click the Export button. In some regions, you will see the Share Page option. In this case, you will have a couple of additional steps to export.

Then tap the PDF option. You must share the file to save it. Otherwise, the app won’t save.

Share the PDF to your Google Drive or another cloud storage platform to save it without sharing it with anyone.

Converting OneNote to PDF needs a few steps. You can export notes of the same quality on all platforms without using a third-party app.
