Anyone who also make notes like this... how do you export your notes to high resolution pdf?

Some context: I'm a recent refugee from Samsung Notes, because the export quality is bad and the process of syncing them to a laptop is a nightmare, and they don't have a web browser version.

So I just downloaded GoodNotes on my tablet (2.0.3) (Galaxy Tab S10 FE), this is my 2nd note on it.

I like that I can view my notes like this on Goodnotes web version (Firefox 147.0.3) I've tried on Chrome/Opera, it lags, on Firefox it's better. I'm quite moved and planning to stay because this is the first time I actually see my notes in good quality, not pixeled, outside of my tablet, since last year when I first tried note-taking on a tablet), but when I try to export it to pdf, the quality is still bad... I thought it uses vector, not image?

I'm now restricted to viewing my notes in a browser on my laptop. Is there ANY WAY I can export my notes in a better resolution? Otherwise if the company is gone, our notes are gone???

My Essential subscription (I think came with the tablet) ends next year, what do you think? If I stay, I'm basically bound to pay for it yearly. Why is it so hard to find one note taking app that's truly stayable?

For anyone who also like to make notes like this, what are the solutions or alternatives?

How do we tell the developers about the bugs and unwanted changes?

It seems like nearly everyone hates this app now. They need to at least fix the pasting font size bug!

Where do we tell them about it? Is it even possible without speaking Korean?

Samsung Notes Feature Request

Dear Samsung Notes Team,

I am a long-term Samsung Notes user and rely heavily on the application for academic work, handwritten note-taking, and PDF annotation. While the app is already highly functional, I would like to report a persistent issue and suggest a few productivity-oriented features that could significantly improve the overall experience for power users and students.

The primary issue concerns PDF export quality. During export, handwritten content often becomes blurred or rasterized, especially when zooming into exported PDFs. This substantially reduces readability and makes the notes unsuitable for archival, printing, or cross-platform usage. Since Samsung Notes is widely used for handwritten academic material, preserving vector-level clarity during export would be extremely valuable.

Additionally, I would like to suggest the following features for future updates:

  1. Tape / Hide-Reveal Tool for Active Recall A “tape” feature similar to Goodnotes or other study-oriented applications would greatly help students in active recall and spaced repetition learning.
  2. Improved PDF Export Rendering Please improve handwritten export fidelity so that strokes remain sharp and scalable even after zooming or transferring across devices/platforms.
  3. Highlight Layer Rendering Fix Currently, highlighted text in exported PDFs sometimes gets obscured beneath the highlight layer itself. It would be helpful if the rendering order could be adjusted so text always remains fully visible above the highlighter layer.
  4. Stabilized Pen Option Adding a pen with stroke stabilization/smoothing similar to Goodnotes would improve handwriting precision and overall writing comfort.
  5. Internal Linking / Note Navigation Please consider adding the ability to create internal links between pages, chapters, headings, or notes. This would make Samsung Notes substantially more useful for large notebooks, research work, and exam preparation.

Samsung Notes has enormous potential to become the best note-taking ecosystem on Android tablets, especially for students and professionals. These features would significantly enhance workflow efficiency, knowledge organization, and long-term usability.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

What is up with new Samsung notes update ???

Am I the only one who hates the new update , cuz wdym my folders in the shape of a square??, I can't even fully read the title of my lessons . In my opinion the old one is a lot better and more simple , a lot of people use the app to study , I think the overall design it actually making harder to use , I couldn't care less about the animation I just need a simple design to make the use more practical and easy .

Samsung notes recent problems?

Some reason my other older Samsung Notes phone is suddenly now having catastrophic problems to sync any recently updated notes from my newer Tab s 8+ notes v4.4.40.11 (looks like a Samsung Notes update released 15th May just 2 days ago). It's only when there is URL added by the newer tab S8+ notes that I can't open the same note anymore on my old Note10 phone now. The same action was 100% fine until just maybe a few days ago.

Anyone else have this and how to fix it? I downloaded the older 4.4.39.59apk but it fails to install... can't I downgrade my notes app back a version?

Noticed the format looks different for YouTube links in Notes now vs before.

Ugg....

paste text without formatting

Whenever I try to paste text it formats it and I dont like this. How can I turn this feature off? So for example I've got the string "Hello* world*" and when pasting it into a note it becomes "Hello world" (with italic formatting for the word hello)

Impossible to use notes outside of my phone

Is there a reason why it's so freaking impossible to use Samsung Notes anywhere other than my phone?

I can't use on my PC as the notes don't all sync - only certain notes sync, and of course the one singular one I need to actually edit doesn't show up. I have tried everything under the sun to get it to sync properly and force everything to sync but it just doesn't, and I think I just discovered it is because there is a max limit to what can and can't be synced. Cool. I can live with this since it's a concrete answer.

As much as I hate Microsoft and OneNote, I decided to try that option. Of course sticky notes on the desktop application don't show the synced notes, so I go to the web version of OneNote. Great, I can't sign in because for some reason I get a notification that I can't use a personal account? Ok, I'm on a work computer, let me pull out my personal laptop.

Great, so I find the feeds feature on the web page, and it says my session is expired and I need to log in again. So I do. Oh? I logged in and it says session expired again. Great, now I'm in a loop where I log in but go no where because my session is always expired and I will therefore always have to log in and will never be able to see my feed.

Has anyone else had a similar issue? I have so many things to update in this one document on my notes app, and doing so on a computer would be ideal so I'm not toggling back and forth between my instagram account and my notes app. I'm at my wits end here and not sure how to fix whatever is going on right now. I could just work only off of my phone but at this point it has become personal so I'm determined to get this to work. Thanks for any advice or help anyone is able to offer!

Samsung notes sinc with Obsidian

I need help. I have a Samsung tablet, and I want the notes I write on it to sync with my Obsidian.

The problem is that Samsung Notes doesn’t have a feature to automatically export notes as PDFs—it has to be done manually.

And even if I do it manually, every time I export, it creates a new PDF instead of replacing the existing one.

Do you know of a solution?

Is there any way to change the new icons?

I'm sure you guys already low about the new HIDEOUS icons. It's completely ruined my experience. Is there any way to change it back to the original version or to protest against this? If not, I'll probably switch to another app.
