How can we improve Goodnotes for Android, Windows, and Web?

Customer Suggestions for Goodnotes (Android, Windows, Web): 🚀 Coming Soon! [Admin only]

Export to PDF using vector format

Currently, PDF exports on Windows and Android are rasterized rather than vector-based. As a result, when zooming in, especially on small text, the content becomes pixelated and difficult to read (see attached image).

Vector-based PDF exports would preserve quality at any zoom level, eliminating pixelation and significantly improving readability and usability.

Since the iPad version of GoodNotes already supports high-quality vector PDF exports, it would be greatly appreciated to have the same functionality on Windows and Android. This feature would bring platform parity and substantially enhance the app’s value for users on these platforms.

[Choose your PDF format (editable or flattened) is in progress 🚧]

Hello,

Thank you so much for sharing your suggestions! Great news! Choosing a PDF format — editable or flattened — is currently in progress and will go live soon.

Coming soon to Android, Windows, and Web: when you export a PDF, you'll be able to choose between an editable file that keeps your notes and annotations open for further editing, or a flattened version that's locked in and ready to share — so your PDF arrives exactly the way you intended.

We'll keep you updated as things move forward, and we'd love to hear your thoughts or any additional feedback you'd like to share in the meantime.

    I'm very frustrated with this. The pdf exports that I get from my classmates who use iPad are crystal clear whereas mine are dogsh*t.

    Currently, PDF exports on Windows and Android are not vector-based. As shown in the attached image, small text becomes pixelated and difficult to read when zoomed in.

    Since the iPad version already supports high-quality vector exports, could we please get this same functionality on Windows and Android? It would greatly improve the utility of the app.

    A few days ago I tried to share a pdf document with hyperlinks to a friend who uses another platform for notes but none of them worked
    Please consider this a feature to add in the next update
