  2. For small businesses, it is important to keep your intellectual properties to yourself.
    We spend countless hours creating spreads, and I want to restrict some parts of it so that the spreads cannot be manipulated but users can still write on the pdf and add pages. Sort of like flattening the spreads as a background image with links instead of shapes that can be extracted.
    However, when i restrict editing with a password in adobe reader, I have to type in the password before I can open the document in goodnotes. Is it possible to import the pdfs as a…

  3. I often practice for exams with my children. When doing that we take or get pictures or pdfs from the teaching material.

    Today we import each of those a picture, scale it to fit the page and then work with it.

    It would be amazing if we could create a new Notebook by selecting any number of photos and have them imported as a new background.

    It would be almost as good if it could automatically scale the picture to match the page. The reason to have it as background is that we never want anything to be behind it.…

  5. The GoodNotes on MacBook Air 2022 does not allow shortcuts for files to be sent from safari directly to GoodNotes. It's also very difficult to use this product on MacBook Air since it glitches when you're selecting text to copy and trying to unselect it.

    I truly enjoyed GoodNotes in the past so I'm hoping someone sees this and fixes these bugs on the software.

  6. Currently the flash card is shown in the same document, so one needs to open different notebooks to read flashcards in them.it will be very beneficial if all the flash cards from different notebooks appear at a single place so that space repetition can be utilised at a single place in a better way.

  9. I am using pencil gen 2 with iPad, what I met as following:
    - Use lasso tool to select a section in the page
    - Tap pencil twice (for daily usage, this act will do incautiously)
    - Lasso tool will be switched to eraser tool, and selected section will be lost
    - Even you try to tap pencil twice again, tool will be lasso tool again, however you will have to select the previous section again.

  12. I am autistic and have ADHD and I use Speechify to read out loud any documents that I read. I am studying an engineering degree and use GoodNotes for all my work. I would love if you could somehow include a Speechify extension in GoodNotes so I don’t have to use two devices.

  14. The clocks colour is not visible on white backgrounds due to the time beeing in white (same as the charge and wifi icon). It would be great if its colour would be adaptive or atleast not also white.

  16. I like the presets that you can customize on GoodNotes and having the keyboard shortcuts makes it easy to use a macropad to help ease my workflow even more!

    I would like to take it a step further by having key shortcuts for quick selecting the preset colors and sizes so that I don't have to lift my pen off away from the writing area to select a color or change my tool size.

    It's a small thing, but I think it would really be cool to implement this feature or something similar for people who really want to optimize…

  17. More textures for pens. Like pencil textures etc. Also, to be able to post templates or stickers for others to use. You could even pay users for designs and others get the designs if they but premium.

  19. It would be very nice to be able to add pages to the side in vertical mode and on the bottom in Horizontal mode as well. I have to import PDF´s quite regularly and they tend to be in the way a lot. If they were next to each other and would just take the effort to scroll as every other page it would be much easier and they would just be there if you need them.
