Fix Blank PDF Pages While Scrolling

Important limitation: large, complex, or damaged PDF files can take longer to render. A page might temporarily appear blank while Goodnotes loads its content.

The diagnostic command is “Export Diagnostic Data”.

Check the PDF

  1. Allow several seconds for the page to finish loading.
  2. Check whether the issue affects one PDF or several PDFs.
  3. Open the original PDF in another PDF viewer and inspect the same pages.
  4. If you have the source document, create a fresh PDF with the source app’s built-in export option, then import that copy into Goodnotes.

If pages still appear blank

  1. If you still see blank pages, note the PDF file size and whether the problem occurs consistently.
  2. Record a short video showing the blank pages or loading delay.
  3. Open Goodnotes settings, select About > Export Diagnostic Data.
  4. Contact Goodnotes Support with the PDF, video, diagnostic data, and issue details. Share files only if you are comfortable providing them for investigation.
