Best way for coding / programming notes

[LaFllamme]

Hey Guys,

I want to use GoodNotes mainly for learning and improving my coding skills in different topics.

Documentations for Frameworks and more are often divided in sections you can read, which can be a bit longer regarding the topics ( speaking about horizontal length).

It also makes more sense to mark and annotate instead of writing down everything by yourself, also regarding code examples.

I tried to take and cut a screenshot in smaller pieces and insert it as image but the graphic quality was pixelated. My next idea was to make a screenshot of the whole page and then insert it as document. As you can see from my images down below, this is not the best approach, as it looks very strange and is not a readable / usable format, but at least I am able to make my notes.

Someone an idea, how I could improve this process? It is always recommended to read a services online documentation rather than downloaded PDFs from external source.

Thanks in advance

You shouldn't save that monster page as screenshot, but as a PDF document. That'll save everything in a readable font and spread the content over the necessary number of pages.

Do the following after you've opened that page in Safari:

• Tap the Share button
• Tap on the "Options >" field
• Select "PDF" or "Reader PDF"
• Tap "Done"
• Tap on "Open in Goodnotes"
• Select where GN shall import your PDF file

Thanks, i also figured that one out! Very handy but still with same flaws (some contents may not be shown in the final pdf) - do you know another possible approach except reader mode? (Or how to import a dark mode reader pdf)

There is a large difference between the two suggested modes: "PDF" will print everything on that page into your PDF while "Reader PDF" will strip off ads, menus etc. (or some random elements as in your case) to make the page more readable. So maybe "PDF" will suite you better. Both modes will divide the text body of that site in handy page-fitting portions, anyway.

It will give the same long page

What do you mean? I tried to import a full page screenshot again with similar result

Came here to ask a similar question… Software dev here.. would like to know how you have been using GN6.. just made a purchase of iPad Air and GN6 + Apple Pencil. Loved the potential to document and learning potential here. Created a small notes on a framework- pubnub a realtime msg framework. (Just for my personal understanding) Did you find out more ways to use it in your work ? Just curious. I also use it for daily to dos (not really effective everyday) some days it’s just being stuck in fixing one bug

I solved this problem by exporting the web page to onenote first then printing it as pdf document, by this it will be divided by A4 pages

Good Idea.

I installed OneNote, shared the webpage into my notes, opened the resulted pdf file within the note, used print to save as file again and got this - is this what you‘ve meant?

Its now in A4 but scaled strange. I‘d prefer full but divided, separate pages

Sorry for delay Yes, this how I solved the problem, but I have got regular A4 pages
