Import limits

• Only attached PDFs are supported.
• Files larger than 25 MB cannot be imported this way.
• Goodnotes does not follow links to PDFs in the email.
• If an email contains PDFs and other unsupported attachments, the PDFs are imported and the sender receives an email listing unsupported files.
• Images can be treated as part of an email signature, so they might be skipped without an error email.
