Samsung Notes Issue! In pdf restoring.

[Prasanna_V]

Content:

I’m facing an issue with Samsung Notes after restoring a PDF. The PDF itself restores properly and opens without any lag, but the problem starts when I try to use it.

As soon as I open the restored PDF, Samsung Notes automatically goes into Draw mode. Because of this, I can’t scroll through the pages normally — every touch or S Pen movement starts drawing instead of scrolling. There’s no clear way to switch back to normal viewing or scrolling mode.

If I press the back button, the PDF just closes instead of exiting draw mode, which makes it very inconvenient to read or edit the document.

This issue seems to happen only with restored PDFs. PDFs that are newly imported work perfectly fine and allow normal scrolling.

I hope the Samsung Notes team can look into this and fix it in a future update, or suggest a workaround to disable auto draw mode for restored PDFs.
