  4. Can you add a feature to directly import PPT and work on them just like IOS, instead of converting them to pdf all the time? As a student this upgrade would be really meaningful and important.

  5. I downloaded a pdf book that has hundreds of pages and realized that I'm going to have to go through all these pages if i want to find this one again.
    A cool, useful idea to solve this could be having the ability to color code pages or sort of bookmark pages so you can click a button of some sort and then it gives you a selection of pages that are bookmarked, choose the page you want and it brings you to it.

    I think this could be a feature that will be SOOOO useful for people with large…

  6. Print function for the browser version (Chrome, Edge etc.)

    A friend shared their GoodNotes document with me and I opened up the link in my browser. But there is no function to print the document in the browser. I download the app on my Windows PC and there is no function in there either to print the document.

  10. More and more documents are being published only as HTML without a PDF version (e.g. UK Government official guidance). I'd love to be able to grab a snapshot of a webpage into my notebook to scribble on. Print to PDF only sort of works for most pages, whereas if GoodNotes could render the HTML itself there is scope for a much better experience.

    Add all the obvious missing features (sticky notes, word searching, handwriting to text etc.) and it becomes a better-than-PDF alternative.

  12. It would be nice to be able to download templates from third-party designers and be able to actually use the content provided. This includes clicking provided links to choose specific material

  13. Love the iOS app. I think others are right with you should be treating this software as a windows application like Brightroom or Word instead of an Internet extension.
    -As a beta, I was expecting more being able to log into my account like, being able to see what I have already created on iOS since I paid the fee. Even if all the features arent there just being able to reference them would be nice and just a little pop up window of "hey, not all features of this document will be available with this version and editing will…

  16. I annotate a 200+ page pdf and it's getting to be kind of a hassle scrolling back to the page where I left off, so it'd be great if a feature was added where I could open a notebook and automatically be on the same page I left off on!

  17. Be it an image, pdf or audio recording - being able to add these into a notebook can really enhance a students ability to use the app as their primary note taker! In Samsung Notes, I'm able to snap a quick photo of the blackboard and through GDrive can immediately add it to my notes. This is one of the last remaining pieces to the GoodNotes puzzle!

  18. I'm coming from Remarkable, and also have content in AppleNotes, and OneNote. I would like to be able to consolidate content from these other platforms into Goodnotes. Most other tools will only export stored content as image PDFs.

    Having the ability to use the lasso tool to draw around handwriting and/or text, and have it detect the writing (without an OCR layer/embedded text) but visually, would allow for this importing and standardizing on your product.

    I would think it's the same OCR engine, just allowed to "see" PDFs / images, and as such, should require little development.

    Currently…

  19. Adding extra margin space on imported PDFs would make annotating easier and neater. Being able to place sticky notes in this extra margin space would be ideal.

  20. On the one hand, I would find importing files very important. In addition, I lack the function to insert my own pictures or pdf's as a booklet template. There are too many differences in the thickness of the pins. The smallest step is too thin compared to medium, which is already very thick. Otherwise, maybe text fields or similar for typing with a keyboard. In addition, of course, sharing or exporting would be very helpful. Maybe just have a look on some functions of Goodnotes 5.
