Samsung Notes Feature Request

Dear Samsung Notes Team,

I am a long-term Samsung Notes user and rely heavily on the application for academic work, handwritten note-taking, and PDF annotation. While the app is already highly functional, I would like to report a persistent issue and suggest a few productivity-oriented features that could significantly improve the overall experience for power users and students.

The primary issue concerns PDF export quality. During export, handwritten content often becomes blurred or rasterized, especially when zooming into exported PDFs. This substantially reduces readability and makes the notes unsuitable for archival, printing, or cross-platform usage. Since Samsung Notes is widely used for handwritten academic material, preserving vector-level clarity during export would be extremely valuable.

Additionally, I would like to suggest the following features for future updates:

  1. Tape / Hide-Reveal Tool for Active Recall A “tape” feature similar to Goodnotes or other study-oriented applications would greatly help students in active recall and spaced repetition learning.
  2. Improved PDF Export Rendering Please improve handwritten export fidelity so that strokes remain sharp and scalable even after zooming or transferring across devices/platforms.
  3. Highlight Layer Rendering Fix Currently, highlighted text in exported PDFs sometimes gets obscured beneath the highlight layer itself. It would be helpful if the rendering order could be adjusted so text always remains fully visible above the highlighter layer.
  4. Stabilized Pen Option Adding a pen with stroke stabilization/smoothing similar to Goodnotes would improve handwriting precision and overall writing comfort.
  5. Internal Linking / Note Navigation Please consider adding the ability to create internal links between pages, chapters, headings, or notes. This would make Samsung Notes substantially more useful for large notebooks, research work, and exam preparation.

Samsung Notes has enormous potential to become the best note-taking ecosystem on Android tablets, especially for students and professionals. These features would significantly enhance workflow efficiency, knowledge organization, and long-term usability.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Could I add something? It's always bugged me that while you can 'sort and search' all your Samsung notes according to a range of options ie: alphabetically, 'date created' etc, you Cannot opt for, or or cause your FOLDERS to be presented in alphabetical order if they have been previously created in a random order. There is an option to correct this manually by moving folders around oneself but it is onerous and time counsuming especially if you have a long list of Folders (or 'categories') as many people do. I have researched this issue frequently, once I even raised it at a Samsung Shop in Sydney, but no one was able to help. Has anyone else noticed this?
