It is outrageous how software for annotating does not offer something like this. It is like they have never used their own software to read a book or a scientific article. There is no free space!! And the solution they propose is just as bad as their software. They say you should open a second window and paste the pages INDIVIDUALLY

This would be a great addition to Goodnotes! And in my humble opinion, would easily make it the best app for an Ipad, like a must have.

The space idea that you suggested is great but they can also go for the sticky notes idea mentioned in another feedback, where those can later be expanded into their own notes.
Either way, It's a great feature to have.

I need this feature too. I’m frustrated that I cannot fit my handwritten notes on or around imported lecture pdfs. I’m currently thinking about switching to OneNote for this reason.
I really do not like much of the other features in onenote but this problem seams so important for when transitioning from physical paper to noting on an iPad. It’s just not enough only to copy the concept of defined paper size to bridge the loss of flexibility going from paper to screen. I love the touch and feel of good notes and has been using it for almost a whole medicine education but this is starting to really frustrate me as it has been in the requested feature line for a long time now and as I see it is has profound impact on good notes usability in modern study technique. The alternative is to take notes using keyboard on a computer but that takes away the proven neural advantage in of using handwritten notes to learn.
I really hope that you give it a serious thought to implement this feature in the near future.
Thanks for an otherwise great app!

When importing a PDF I want to get a question of how I want to import it. See picture. This would be a killer feature for note takers.

The only feature I can suggest as an improvement is the one thing OneNote kind of does right, which is the ability to annotate beyond the margins of imported PDF documents. It is great to be able to annotate over a document, but it is better to be able to take copious notes beyond the margins. Example: Most professors provide PDF or PowerPoint lecture notes, but they are typically loaded with information. How angering to hear important commentary in class only to look down and realize that you need to write smaller than the human eye can see to fit information between lines of text, in the narrowest of margins, or between illustrations. The only mechanism I have deduced to combat this is to open a PDF version in Preview, drag one slide at a time into a folder, and import those images on at a time onto a slide larger PowerPoint slide to create blank space, and export the document again as a combined PDF. Talk about a waste of time! If only there was a way to import PDFs onto a larger canvas. Not a ridiculously infinite space like OneNote, but templates of reasonable dimensions. With that, I would be thoroughly satisfied.

Yes I need this as well. I have much of my uni literature on GoodNotes and when I am reading text I would like to be able to make notes by the side for easy reference to paragraph. Or simply questions I got that I an later ask the teacher or look up.

Sounds like nice improvment. If it could be implemented easily is worth considering

This would be extremely helpful for my work!

That would be very interesting
