  1. Wenn ich beispielsweise einen Text auf einer linierten Vorlage per Tastatur eintippe, möchte ich, dass sich die Schriftgröße und der Zeilenabstand automatisch dieser Seitenvorlage anpasst. Ansonsten überlappen sich die Zeichen mit den Linien, wodurch es sehr unleserlich wird. Eine andere erdenkliche Lösung wäre, dass man den Hintergrund in 2 Teile unterteilen kann, um für den Textbereich einen freien Hintergrund zu haben.
    Mein Ziel ist es, per Hand- und per Tastatur geschriebene Texte auf einer Seite zu kombinieren und dabei alles gerade und leserlich zu behalten.
    Wie kann ich das lösen?
    Vielen Dank
    Herr Riebau

  3. Ich nutzte das Tool viel um Plakate für eine Ausbildung zu gestalten. Für mich wäre es extrem Hilfreich wenn eine Funktion Keilstift hinzugefügt würde.

    Danke

  4. Using the IOS 15 native OCR function to improve the search efficiency, you can identify the content of the scanned version of the text when establishing a text index, which will make the software more efficient.I don't know if IOS has open this API.

  5. Clicking the toolbar in the GN5 Mac app expands the window to large view, and clicking again returns it to standard size.

    Basically, quickening the time it takes to widen the GN view WITHOUT actually going into FULL SCREEN mode.

    Should be a quick fix.

  8. After years of use and many tens of gigbytes of content, my ipad is full from goodnotes content. I dont want to delete older notes because I occasionally refer to them. I request allowing us to selectively sync some content to our devices and allow older content to be stored in the cloud and downloaded when needed directly within the app.

  9. when i tried to upload my notes and folders ..... on One drive as PDFs

    i tried to download them again on Good notes

    i found the PDFs annotations are constant and cannot be edited again

    on the other hand, i tried to do the same manually on some files and repeated

    the process and found the annotations editable, but it would take very much

    time to do this on every file in every folder.

  10. When searching on iphone spotlight search, it would be good if a small preview image of the document would show. Notability has this feature so it shouldn’t be hard I think

  11. I would like to be able to share the document/folder with someone without them being able to edit it. I use this in a classroom as I teach, and I'd like students to be able to revisit information which I write. Google Docs has a great function where users could either view only, or have editing rights.

  13. Suggestion:
    Add the option to modify the note thickness in the selection adjustment setting.
    Set the quick selection of pen style,including pencolor, note thickness collection pen, etc.
    In fact, it works pretty well so far,well,we can refer to notability to improve some individual functions

  14. When I download content from the Goodnotes Community tab, I'm not able to edit any of the files. Files don't seem to import into my library as a .goodnotes files but instead as some form of .pdf(?).

    This is really annoying especially when people make things like sticker packs (a bunch of images/icons on a page) where the intent is for you to import the stickers as elements. If it's not a .goodnotes file, you have to screenshot and crop everything yourself AND a lot of the resolution is lost.

    Beyond that, I often like to make tweaks to stuff…

  15. Please add a type of "streamline" for each pen type that is adjustable so it would fit each individuals needs and wants.
    It would improve handwriting which would prevent me from spending so much time during note taking to go back and rewrite things and it would make the notes that I do write much easier to read. It would make notes more aesthetically pleasing and legible which would save time. It is an easy win win win situation.

  16. Please I want the feature of converting handwritten notes to text in real time because nowadays First I have to copy the text and then paste it and then erase the handwritten notes.It is a complicated process ,So please add a feature which convert handwritten notes directly into text and only showing text.
    I need this because I have to make my notes clean and it would be also easy for me to read by notes when it is written in text.

  18. For backups only the cloud service like OneDrive, Dropbox is selectable. The definition of a specific folder or subfolder at the cloud service is not possible.

    It would be great to have the possibility to choose the folder or a subfolder for backup location at the cloud location.

    The possibility to select a backup location upside of cloud services like iOS folder structure (e.g. local) would be fine.

  20. A similar idea has been posted, but I want to make another point. Given you’re current framework where each page is a separate file, it should be relatively simple to add a way (probably the Share drawer icon) to copy that page file address link and paste it in other apps where if i click the link it would open GoodNotes up and show me that page.

    Bonus points if this link could be SHARED to other GoodNotes users (who do not even have the file) and it could open up that page on THEIR Mac/iPad/iPhone etc. This would be…
