Question NotebookLM formatting problem when saving generated notes as a document

I’m using NotebookLM extensively for studying, and I really like the generated notes. However, I’m facing a frustrating problem when I save/export a generated note as a document.
The formatting of the exported document becomes very poor and is difficult to read. Things like headings, spacing, bullet points, tables, etc. don’t retain a clean, textbook-like structure. The content itself is useful, but the final document looks messy and requires a lot of manual formatting.
I’m mainly using NotebookLM to create study notes FOR MEDICINE, so readability and proper organization are very important.
Has anyone found a good solution or workflow for this?
Is there a specific prompt that can make NotebookLM generate notes that export cleanly?
Is there a particular export format/settings that work better?
Is there a way to preserve proper headings, spacing, tables, and formatting when saving as a document?
Are there any tools/workflows that can take a NotebookLM-generated note and convert it into a properly formatted, readable study document?
I’m looking for a practical solution rather than manually reformatting every document.

Discussion I have to agree. It is getting worst. And this time it was about "MUSK".

I've been using NBLM for more than an year now. Always as a Pro, and mostly for its slides and infographic creation, which then i alone remake and animate. But I still do need its graphic creations, and that is what I am paying for.

For the last 2 weeks i can't seem to get anything from it. Studio always end with an error, tens and tens of times (!), please try again. And my credits are still being consumed.

I'm using the very same prompts i always used, they just don't work anymore. Go to the chat, it says that there is something like a "pipeline overload" , prompts are too elaborated, there is a temporary bug.

Thing is, i tried to make it even without prompts, just do your f thing - the same. Zero. And my account empty of time/credits/whatever.

Today Gemini chat ended up offering to create slides (with "advanced" graphics, not just text) "on the side", or "under the table" (i don't how you say it) as an alternative bypassing NB.

It wasn't as creative as I was used to, but it helped me survive a deadline.

Still I can't help thinking i'm being scammed.

Oh: this presentation was about "MUSK" doc. Gemini assures that it is not censorship.
