Before you start

  • After the first step, test one Index link, one writing mark, and one page action before setting up the whole planner.

GoodNotes known problems with NozomuNoto planners

  1. If the planner file does not appear, confirm the ZIP is extracted and import the PDF from + New > Import.
  2. If links do not move, tap once on iPad/iPhone, long-press and choose Open Link in edit mode, or use Read-Only mode.

    Open LinkIf a planner link does not open in edit mode, long-press it and choose Open Link.
  3. If links worked before export but not after export, test a fresh copy of the original NozomuNoto PDF. Flattened or edited exports can lose link behavior.
  4. If template pages are messy, re-copy from a clean template page or re-import a fresh planner copy from the original download.
  5. If stickers look blurry, insert the original PNG again and keep it close to its original size.

Before asking for help

  1. Test a fresh import. Import the original NozomuNoto PDF again without page moves or exports.
  2. Test the same link in Apple Files. This separates file-link problems from GoodNotes mode problems.
  3. Write down the exact product and app version. Include product name, year, orientation, week start, color, device, iPadOS/iOS version, and GoodNotes version.
  4. Send a short screen recording if possible. Show the exact step where the problem happens.

Common GoodNotes fixes

1. Use the PDF, not the ZIP

GoodNotes needs the extracted PDF for planners and notebooks.

2. Use the right mode for links

Writing tools are for writing. Read-Only or Open Link is for navigation when a tap starts editing instead of moving.

3. Keep an untouched backup

The fastest fix for a broken working copy is often a fresh import from the original NozomuNoto download.

If something still feels off

If the same problem happens in a fresh copy and another PDF viewer, send the product name, device, app version, and a short screen recording.

For GoodNotes, send the product name, device, app version, and the exact step where you get stuck if you need help.

When possible, test page moves, template copies, bookmarks, or cover changes on a copied planner first, so the original download stays clean.
