I like to annotate the articles I read with scribbles, notes, sketches, etc.
So when I find an interesting story, rather than reading the online version, I screenshot it on my iPad, and then select the option to save the whole page as one long single-page PDF, rather than just saving the PNG of the screenshotted image.
Ufortunatly, on some web pages this doesn’t capture the whole page, an so the last few paragaphs might be missing.
Here’s what I’d like to be able to do when that happens.
First, take screenshots of the material that’s missing and save these PNGs into the iPad’s photo album.
Then, with the incomplete PDFs open in GoodNotes, I’d like to add more white-space at the bottom of the document — effectively, the reverse of when you crop an article, since I’d be dragging the current crop marks from the bottom further *downwards* to create fresh empty space using the same colour as the colour of the page that I’m extending. (Or maybe to have a dialogue that asks by how much longer or wider I’d like to make the document, and whether I want to add this extra real estate on all four sides, or just on the indicated sides — in the example I’m giving, I’d be adding real estate at the bottom of the page).
Finally, once I have this extra real estate on the page, I could paste on the screenshot images I took of the missing material, to ensure that the whole document is there, and that it is rendered in the original font (which it would be, since they’re screenshots).
I encounter this problem very often, and it would be awesome of GoodNotes had the functionality to expand the size of PDF document pages.
As another user mentioned (and I’ll give their request a thumbs up in a minute), page CROPPING would also be so helpful.
Thanks for listening, for the single product I use most on my iPad (I effectively almost live out of GoodNotes, including live lecture presentations with a connection to an overhead projector, etc). And, naturally to read *all* the articles. :)
