  3. Currently, there is no way to add new entries to the "PDF Outlines". In principle, I would want to avoid using bookmarks to add "structure" to my documents: IMO, bookmarks should be temporary placeholders, whereas the outline is a more permanent structure of headings and subheadings.

  6. We should be able to go to links (hot!) in our browsers. The attachments: in the first one, I've copied the link to the source document. If link us live, I can go to my source document to click on links there (this would be the minimum). In the second attachment us the entire pdf with all its highlighted links....which currently go nowhere. We should be able to click on all of these and go to those links.

  7. We can currently only print all pages or print 1 page, but I have lengthy notebooks with my math homework for instance, but I don't know the number of the page my homework starts on, I would like an option in addition to Print all and print this page, that would print starting from my current page. Sure its possible to scroll through the notebook and select the pages you actually want, but as I get further into the term, my notebooks get longer and longer and this becomes more and more tiresome.

  8. Adding the shapes tool and others. As a student with classes in physics and calculus I use the shapes tool frequently and there's a delay in my efficiency when I have to leave my sight line in the zoom window to go up to the main toolbar.

  10. As part of my workflow, I am quite regularly wanting to insert a new page with just parts of what is on on my current page.

    There are two ways I can accomplish this at the moment:

    1. Open the multi-page view, tap edit, select the current page, tap copy, tap done, tap +, tap the + in a circle where I want to insert the page, tap "Paste Copied Pages", tap done, select my newly inserted page, use the lasso tool to select the parts of the pages I do not want to keep, and delete them.

    2. Use the lasso…

  13. Ability to sync using Google Drive rather than iCloud. Right now you can only backup to Google Drive. There should be seamless integration with Google Drive (similar to PDF Expert.)

  15. Sometimes to sketch things out letter or DIN A4 are to short, so it would nice to have endless paper (like OneNote). Which you can scale if you need to print it out. Or have something like 4 DIN A4 papers which fit together with tesa strip.

  17. I like that there are a fair amount of colors to choose from, but it would be nice to have some way to make and save custom colors. Perhaps some sort of a color wheel.

  19. Add more pen options please! I don't like how my handwriting looks in this app but I love everything else this app has to offer. Notes Plus offers pen types that resembles my handwriting but is limited in areas where this app excels. Adding more pen options would eliminate the competition altogether for me.

  20. The one that changes when clicking Select, Edit, Text, Pen, Highlight, Eraser...

    I honestly think it doesn't make sense to have that toolbar always active when you are just visualizing a document without editing it. It takes up valuable space for visualization! (specially in Macs with small screens).

    Is there a way to disable that "sub-toolbar"?
