  1. Safari PDF export and iPad OS full page screenshot generate a long single page PDF file. If I read it and then close, next time it opens zoomed out so that the whole single page is visible, so I lose the reading progress.

    With multi page PDFs this seems to be working, so this may even be a feature caused by that zoomed out view: it would be better to open the pdf so that you match the viewport to the display width.

  2. Allow "deviding" one page within a document into two separate ones.
    For instance; if there is a page with two excercises on it (1&2), it would be very helpful if you could "cut" or "divide" the page into two separate (smaller) pieces. This allows you to do exercise 1 right under the instructions, if there is not enough space to do so.

  3. It's not currently possible to go back to the document view without opening a document from the library. Maybe, we can hace a button for it.

  4. Recently I was grading PDF exams in Goodnotes. I grade a lot better if I grade everyone's Problem 1, then go back and grade everyone's Problem 2, and so on.

    Once I have all 50+ of my students' exams open, the tabbed file system makes it very easy to switch between files. (THANK YOU for allowing me to have 50+ tabs open at once!) But on the first pass I have to open the files one by one. Is there a way to open all files in a folder (in separate tabs)?

  5. Currently, when selecting text in a PDF, you have the option to "strikeout" or "highlight" the selected text. As far as I can tell, when selecting one of these options, the only available color for highlighting is yellow and the only available color for strikeout is red. Please add a feature to allow users to choose the highlight color and the strikeout color for selected text.

  6. Hi! I was reading from a GoodNotes book today and felt that if the window did not move (in both x and y) every time I touched the screen, it would be awesome because I would know that the motion of the page would be restricted to one dimension only. Think of it like adobe acrobat with mouse. This could be accomplished by a button in the UI. I feel it would greatly enhance user reading experience. Thanks!

  7. Sarebbe utile poter registrare audio e video dello schermo e di poter mettere in pausa qualora ve ne fosse la necessità durante la registrazione stessa. Sebbene vi siano applicazioni che hanno questa funzione mi sentirei più sicuro ad utilizzare qualcosa che appartenga già a GoodNotes! Colgo l’occasione complimentarmi e ringraziarvi per la splendida applicazione!

  8. Sometimes I have a document that's hundreds of pages long and I just want to know if a specific word is used in one chapter without having to see every single time it appears in the whole thing. I would love it if GoodNotes enabled the option to search if a specific phrase is in a specific range of pages (for example, pgs. 62-80 instead of pgs. 1-100)

  10. Please provide a “Feedback” feature in the GoodNotes app.

    I would suggest in [Settings] > [About] page.

  11. I would like to export the highlights I make on a PDF as a plain text file. Like Kindle does with highlights on a book.

  12. I often take notes that are messy, in the wrong folder/document etc, so as you can move writing, it would be useful to be able to cut and paste a whole page into another folder/document

  15. Could you add a top bottom split view similar to left right split view. This would be a great functionality to have for taking notes. This functionality is already available in other apps such as Notes Writer. It is a great help to have a top and bottom split, specially if you are using smaller iPad such as IPad Air or Mini which do not have large display to compare full page side by side. In top bottom split view we can look at PDF/ Book on top view and take down notes in lower screen.

  16. Provide users the ability to quickly access resizable shapes or stencils when creating notes. This would greatly improve the speed and quality of my handwritten notes. Programs like Visio, OmniGraffle support stencil libraries of resizeable shapes. For example, a) Bullet Journaling uses specific shapes to denote specific meanings for captured text. To be able to drop an object on the page quickly at the start of writing a note would help speed thought capture. b) Predefined shapes would have individual handle/controls to allow the user to quickly take actions (copy, fill color, resize).

  17. Email to Goodnote 5 is not a good feature.

    I have Goodnote 5 installed on my iPad and home computer Mac. The PDF files are no issue to sync. When I am in the compony which only use the Window 10 computer, I can't easily put the PDF file into the Goodnote easily. The easier method I know is to put the files into the Dropbox or cloud storage. Then, import the PDF files to the Goodnote 5 from Mac or iPad when I go back home. If I annotate the files using other software then follow the same steps…

  18. Currently in split view, only one side has the option to back out to the previous page (for me it's the folder the notebook is in). The other side only has the option to close the app. I want both sides to have the option to go back to the folder level.

  19. I get tons pictures from my students’ works.
    So I’d like to open several pictures or documents from Files as pages of one single document.

    So far you can select and share them in GoodNotes, but then I’ll just get many single documents with one page each.
    So here should be a dialog like „Open as separate documents“ or „Open all in a single document“ or „Add to document“.

    You could open a new document in GoodNotes you want to have the pictures in, go to Thumbnail view, go back to Files and share the pictures in GoodNotes (then you’ll…

  20. I wish that in GN i can choose to add a new note page with the same size of the last PDF page so that all the pages of the book would keep regular.( or just with the same width can also help a lot) It’s important to keep standard by sliding, printing or sharing with others etc.
