  5. The pages in a document are not based on standard paper sizes, it would be useful to be able to set a page size to a4 or a5 so that the document would print out to fit the paper size properly instead of there being a gap at the top and bottom.

  6. With the new trackpad support with iPadOS 13.4, it would be really nice to be able to scroll through notes with the trackpad like one would scroll through other things such as documents or websites.

  7. It would be very nice to be able to resize the shapes that are auto drawn. Even better would be the ability to snap and unsnap segments of shapes, but I would be happy with resizing the shapes

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  8. open 2 different PDF documents at the same time. That it becomes possible to read one PDF and write notes in a new notebook direkt next to it.

    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock
    - documents from the library
    - folders from the library
    - individual pages from the document thumbnail view
    - tabs from the…

  11. Please create a view in that the current page number and the total page numbers are being shown in the standard view. This would make it easier to navigate. You could also have a function that automatically number the pages.

    The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing.

  12. I use GoodNotes 4 to lecture in large classrooms.

    I had hoped to use it today, but when I fired up GoodNotes 5, and attached an external display to my iPad, the output didn't hide the user interface!

    Please, please, bring that feature back! I was really excited to use GoodNotes 5 for my lectures, but I'm stuck with 4 until this is a feature.

    Thank you for making an excellent product!

  13. The "Shape Tool" is essential for writing fractions, square roots and arrows. In mathematics note-taking, it is often to switch the shape tool on/off all the time when writing in the zoom window.

    Hence, it is crucial for shape tool to be "selectable" both at the tool bar as well as directly on the zoom window.

  14. The added text using keyboard is usually relevant to find a specific page or information. Currently, this function, only lets you search text inside PDF files, it would be very useful also search for text in "text boxes". Markers are not sufficient and it is difficult to use when you have many.

  17. It would be great if the outlines/bookmarks in PDFs edited in Goodnotes would be exported together with the PDF file. The outlines are visible inside Goodnotes, but once the notebook is exported the outlines disappear.

  18. Provide small library of ideally scaleable stickers that can be placed on page... Stars,light bulbs, flags, people, '.', men@work, Alerts etc

    This would help with being able to visually tag drawings and text (in page) with favourite 'standard' icon-stickers to draw attention when flipping through pages.

    Also provide the ability to then search through book to find pages with selected stickers so that I could find all my ideas, thoughts, questions, important items etc
    Simple idea with powerful results

  19. Sometimes I want to resize or recolor parts of my notes after I have written them down in class. I don't always have time to change styles and colors in the middle of a lecture, so it would be nice to be able to change these things with a few simple clicks afterwards.
