I think you're opening a note rather than just starting the app. When you click on the S Note app, you get a screen that shows your notes, templates, etc. don't start a new note, from that screen, hit the menu button and you should see the attached screen shot. When you pick import it will ask whether it's a jpg or pdf and then you can find it in whatever folder it's in. (don't ask me about the file system, the logic is like hide and seek to me!) However I can tell you that in my case it was in the download folder and I got frustrated because the file would actually open instead of going through the import process. That's when I realized that instead of tapping on the filename to select it, you need to only select in the little circle at the right, then you pick OK at the bottom of the screen. After that it will just move into a note, tap on the imported pdf file so it will load the features and you're all set.
