The GoodNotes app is very flexible in terms of export options. There are a number of ways you can export documents, such as:

  • Exporting one or more documents
  • Exporting one or more pages of a document
  • Exporting one or more folders

The supported file formats for the export are:

  • GoodNotes document - can only be opened in GoodNotes
  • PDF (editable/flattened)
  • Image

 

Export a single document

Option 1: From the library view, tap the document title and choose Export All. Alternatively, tap the checkmark icon in the upper right, tap the document, then tap Export at the top.

Option 2: From the document view, tap the Share icon in the nav bar and choose Export All.

 

Export multiple documents

Export a single page of a document

Option 1: From the document view, tap the Share button in the nav bar and choose Export This Page.

Export one or more folders

From the library view, tap the checkmark icon in the upper right, tap the folder(s), then tap Export at the top. 

Tip: To quickly export a folder, tap its title in the library view and choose Export.

Note: The output will be a single .zip file containing every notebook in the folder(s) with the folder structure still preserved. For example, given this folder structure of Folder A and the exported format being PDF:

Folder A
--- Notebook A
--- Subfolder B
      --- Notebook B

The exported .zip file will contain files in this structure:

Folder A
--- Notebook A.pdf
--- Subfolder B
      --- Notebook B.pdf

You can re-import this .zip file as a whole.
