In the PDF file, each Note shows above it the title of the paragraph in which it is contained, this leads to a lot of confusion in addition to the useless waste of space.
This script groups the notes according to the title of the paragraph they belong to.

With the new version of IOS, Apple has disabled the function of exporting highlighted text via email, so it is no longer possible to create pdf. This project has been marked as deprecated. It still works with already existing pdfs, but since you can't create new ones, this program has become almost useless.
However, I've developed other projects that perform much better than this one, because they take information directly from the main database of the app.
They are more reliable, accurate and will never become obsolete.
