  1. I use goodnotes to documents conditions in the field- taking lots of phots using the camera tool. I would like to be able to export those photos as JPG or TIFF or some photo format for using in other apps, like word for writting reports. The only way I have been able to export an actual photo is to share the individual photo. This is not efficient when I have hundreds of photos to upload. There should be a method to export the individual photos in a notebook all at once. Exporting the notebook as a pdf does not work…

  2. Allows for paper to be coloured to help people with disabilities and to reduce eye strain, sort of like a wheel of colours to choose when making a sheet of paper

  3. Goodnotes already has the option to export as image, adding this as an option to auto backup is a great way to cut down the file sizes that can reach hundreds of megabytes for the people who use the auto backup as a notes viewer when using their PC.
    This reduction in file size in my opinion is worth the loss of text search within the document

  4. It would be amazing if there was a setting where I could default a font and as I start handwriting out notes, it automatically starts to change the words to text, sort of like iPads new "scribble" feature.

  5. When I scan a multi-page document through GoodNotes or import a scanned document, the saved quality is not sufficient, so that - in contrast to Notify - not all text passages are found when searching.

    This is clear if you look at the file sizes between Notify and GoodNotes during the backup.

  6. If I want to import longer texts into GoodNotes via the clipboard that are longer than one page, the text that no longer fits on the page should be automatically inserted on the following pages.

  7. Due to the existence of arxiv, many people, take me as an example, will download preprint versions of an article and after quite sometime, when the published version appeared, one should also include that into the database. Now we have one preprint with your notes or comments on it, and another published one with higher reliability, it seems necessary to pin these two(or more) together to make life easier. Or if there are better solutions, welcome to comment!

  8. Please add an option to FLAG (label) DIFFERENT PAGES IN A NOTEBOOK WITH DIFFERENT COLOUR so that we can classify notes on the basis of importance

  9. It would be very convenient to have a pencil that just exist to write down headlines. I often use one strength of the three options just for headlines so one could expand functionality by implementing more features to this and specify one pen(strength) just to headlines. One feature suggestion might be to automatically add a page on which a headline was written to the outline. The headline itself can then be used as the outline entry's description by using the handwriting recognition software.

  10. Suppose I have a 400 page textbook. I made an annotation somewhere in the PDF. No idea where, but I need to view/modify it. I need a way to view only the annotated pages from my notebook.

  11. In order to increase data security, I make local backups of my notes every two weeks. As of now, I backup all the notes as I do not know which one I have altered since the last backup. If there is a way to view all my notes at one place, sorted based on latest modified, with also the date of last modification, I can only backup the notes that I have altered since the last backup, hence saving me space and data.

  12. Love the copy / paste function with the lasso. But often the lasso does not catch everything of a written line, some little fragments are not copied. So I have to go back and set the lasso again to catch all fragments. Very nerving. It would be great if you could do copy / paste with the eraser too. Meaning everything from your last erase will be automatically copied to the clipboard. Then you can tap&hold to paste with the regular pencil, just like pasting with the lasso.

  13. I often import large PDF documents containing text where I need to annotate similar concepts with an annotation. The idea is to be able to quickly access these annotations on each page I am reading.

    Currently I have to cut and paste several of these annotations from sheet to sheet, then use the lasso tool to add them to the text I am reading. This would provide a very valuable research tool and method of abstracting concepts into pictures (cartoons or annotations) to help me summarize the information or concept from several sources.

    The idea could be expanded to provide…

  14. Ich fände es toll, wenn man Verweise zwischen Dokumenten erstellen könnte und so mit einem Klick auf ein bestimmtes Wort direkt zum gesuchten Dokument geleitet wird.

  15. Hi. GoodNotes is my favorite way to read PDFs. It would be great if you oils have a more sophisticated highlighting system that could export to Readwise.

    Thanks!

  16. When annotating imported PDFs/PPT slides, have the option to add an blank page that is the same size as the existing PDF or PPT slide size. This is so that the user can add more note-taking space without messing up the sizing of the entire GoodNotes document.

  19. It would help a lot, if it was possible to add pages to a PDF not only above or below the actual page (and as last) but also to add a new page on the right hand side. It would improve the possibilities to take notes on context and it makes it easier to read.

    Thank you very much!
