- It doesn't remember the last position you left at, which is a huge dealbreaker for open big textbooks with hundreds of pages. I'm forced to open my PDFs in Google Drive just because of that.
- It doesn't allow saving edited PDFs in a cloud-based folder of the file manager. I have all my school-related documents in a OneDrive folder so that I can access them from anywhere, and it really annoys me to have to save my edited PDFs in a local folder and then manually move them back to their original location in my OneDrive. And the lack of auto-save for the PDF editor also makes it strictly worse than Apple Notes.
Come on Samsung. There's now way you guys implemented one of the best PDF editors when it comes to productivity features and pen support, and then decided to not implement such basic features that would makes the lives of a ton of people much easier.
Hi, please be assured that Samsung always strives to provide the best user experience on the device, We’ll ensure you that it will be considered as feedback and value your time contacting us.
We certainly bring it to our team for further review.
Hopefully, the feature that you are expecting might be added in future.
Long time Galaxy Note user and a fan of Samsung Notes. Recently bought an S9+ just to take notes and annotate PDFs on a bigger screen and I was baffled by the lack of automated syncing of annotated PDF files through Google Drive that were editted with Samsung Notes.
Yes I understand that the propriety format of Samsung Notes files is a must but at least implement the option to automatically sync PDFs with cloud services since you already provide the option to export Samsung Notes files as PDFs.
For a built‑in editor, it basically handles its intended functions quite well. As for synchronization, I completely agree. For more editing and conversion features, you can try the online tool suggested in the discussion about the PDF to PPTX converter https://www.reddit.com/r/studytips/comments/1kpeq92/spent_hours_looking_for_a_decent_pdf_to_pptx/ which I also use from time to time. It’s especially good if you often work with PDFs, as it has many built‑in features. Overall, online tools nowadays are very well thought out and quite easy to use.
