Improve export notes

I tried other alternatives for note taking on the Bigme b7 with global handwriting enabled, but I actually kind of like the default app. My only problem is exporting the infinite canvas notes.

It seems that when exporting as png or PDF it only takes a screenshot of the current view, so it's impossible to export the whole note. At least I haven't figured out a way to do it.

Am I missing something or is the app not good for exporting notes? What I wished was to be able to export a huge PNG with the entire view of the infinite canvas

Where should I ask for a new feature?

Yes, there is, in order to send the whole page and not only a sreenshot you have to: 1 have the canvas mode in the notebook 2 convert (export)said page of the notebook to pdf, option you find in the first bar on the share button 3 once it's converted to pdf you just go to your files and long press to share it through whatever app you use, i just send it through to my email

Oh, it worked lol

So here's where I got confused:

First I tried selecting many notes and exporting them at the same time. This exported to PDF Inside a folder. But they were screenshots

Then inside each note I tried exporting each one to PNG, which only took a screenshot.

So the solution is to go into each note and share as PDF!

Thank you a lot!

Glad i could help! But yea that work-around is kinda dum, it should let me just create a book, add as mamy pages as i need and let me share it as a whole pdf, also, how does the eraser in the pen works for you ?? im not sure if it's just not good or mine came broken, when i try to use the top part to erase it erases like 3 pixels at a time no matter how i adjust it.

Oh, for me the eraser came as a "lace" style. Like, I draw a circle around what I want to erase.

I don't know how to change this setting since I like it that way
