lock .pdf, and other media in notes on iPhone

Is there any work around to lock notes that have PDF's, video, numbers document, etc? (Why do they exclude media types in the Notes app?)

I received an email with my FAA drone registration .pdf included and sent it to Notes, then tried to lock the note and this the error msg. I got from Notes. "Can't Lock Note", "Notes with video, audio, PDF, or file attachments or using features from a newer version of Notes can't be locked".


Please advise on how to get this to work.
