Smart PDF Import: Add Margins with Grid Background for Writing
When importing PDFs:
✔ Allow users to choose “Add expandable writing margin”
➡️ Let us set how many cm to add on each side (top, bottom, left, right)
➡️ Let us select a background style (grid, lined, blank) for the expanded area
➡️ Optionally, allow us to choose whether the background layer appears above or below the imported PDF (this could be added later—no rush!)
🔥 This would create a perfect page layout with the PDF on one side and structured space to take notes, do calculations, or annotate clearly.
No more floating sticky notes or struggling with extra pages—just clean, customizable, and efficient.

The topics listed below all focus on issues like layers, transparency, locking, merging, grouping, object order, visibility, and rearranging—challenges that could be resolved by GoodNotes introducing a new layers feature.
If everyone rallies behind the most popular topic, we could hit 3,150 votes for layers! By uniting, we have a much higher chance of securing this highly requested feature. This is the perfect moment to vote, especially with GoodNotes in beta and actively making big updates to the app.
