How do I access PDFs notes within Windows Desktop?

Sorry if this a a newbie issue, but I have been using Evernote for many 10 years without problems, and the new windows version is unintuitive to me.

I dropped a pdf file (about 3MB) into a note, note info confirms it is there, but I cannot find how to access it in Evernote for Windows Desktop.
When I login to Evernote online using a browser it is visible accessible.

What am I missing?

PDFs display inside a note in the new Evernote desktop application in a similar manner to the previous version except that the default view is 'Single Page' in addition to the options for display as Attachment or as 'All Pages'. A 3Mb PDF should sync in the new app fairly promptly.  Occasionally notes to appear to be blank/without content. The usual resolution is Quit Evernote and then restart.  A PC reboot would achieve the same thing but with more inconvenience.

You can use the legacy version of Evernote instead of or alongside the new version. If the new version is causing hassle then you can confidently run the legacy version alongside the new version.
