- **Bear Version** : 2.6.5 (13952)
- **OS Version** : 26.3 (23D127)
- **What were you doing** :
  1. created PDF in Safari on iPhone by Share (icon) \> Markup \> Save File to … some folder in Files App
  2. within the Bear app on iPhone, Add attachment, browsed to located the PDF saved in the Files app, selected it…

- **What feature did you use** : Add attachment (long press camera icon, then press attachment icon)
- **What happened** : … Bear showed an outline of an attachment in the editor, the crashed 1 second later. happens every time.
- **What did you expect to happen** : add PDF as attachment

seems to be related to PDF created in Safari (iPhone) via Share icon \> Markup

solution for now: create PDF in Safari (or Chrome) via Print, which is actually a better way, since after pressing the Share icon of the Print window, the PDF can be copied to clipboard (and pasted into Bear); no need to save to Files app. this works just fine.
