Align page numbers with document
When jumping to a specific page, Good notes is using its own count of page numbers, which often differs from the count the document is using, especially for scientific literature. This leads to the reader having to write down two page numbers for reference, one for the scientific quote and one to actually find the quote again using the "jump to page" option. A great option would be to adjust this manually, e.g. telling good notes "this is Page 72", so the actual page numbers of the document can be used as reference.

The lack of this feature is particularly frustrating when the imported pdf in question has already assigned values like "C1-C4" or "i-xiv" that display properly in Acrobat. Goodnotes is behind the competition here.

I am constantly facing issues with this, I am student and our books have electronic pdf alternatives that I often use to not carry 1000 pages around with me. But when a question references a page, often the page in the pdf doesn't align with goodnotes page numbers, sometimes there is a difference of even 20 pages, and this means it takes a very long time to get to the references.
In exams when you have limited time anyway this is a huge issue. -

This would be great!!! I work with television scripts, so there are often pages of the document that aren’t correct. For example, The cover page is not considered “page 1”. And added pages get page numbers like 15A and 15B. It would be nice to tell GoodNotes that 15A and 15B are just that, and not pages 16 and 17, which then throws off the rest of the script too….
We use the script page for reference so the workaround has been to literally hand-write (or type) a big red number in the upper right corner of every page so that they’re easily discernible in thumbnail view.
But that’s just as much work as going in and having to tell GoodNotes manually what page # it is…so this would only really be truly helpful if GoodNotes could somehow read/scan the script and do it automatically. Most film and TV scripts have the same format so, the placement and even the font is universal.
