Both digital and paper planners have their strengths, but digital planners have some key advantages over a paper planner.

Accessibility & Convenience

• Access your planner anytime from multiple devices (phone, tablet, computer).
• No need to carry a physical notebook.

Customization & Flexibility

• Easily edit, move, or delete entries without making a mess.
• Choose from various templates, colors, and layouts.
• Can integrate with other productivity tools like calendars, to-do lists, and note-taking apps.

Space-Saving & Eco-Friendly

• No need to carry multiple notebooks or planners.
• Reduces paper waste and clutter.

Integration & Collaboration

• Sync with calendars (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.) for better scheduling.
• Use cloud storage for backups, so you never lose important notes.

Security & Backup

• Cloud backups prevent data loss from accidental damage.
• Password protection keeps sensitive information private.

A PDF digital planner in GoodNotes (or other note apps) works by acting as an interactive, hyperlinked notebook that you can write on, just like a physical planner, but with added digital benefits. Here’s how it works:

Importing the PDF Planner

• Download your PDF digital planner after purchasing on our store.
• Open GoodNotes (or your preferred app), tap “+” > Import, and select the PDF file.
• The planner will appear as a notebook within the app.

Navigating with Hyperlinks

• Our digital planners have hyperlinks that allow you to jump between sections (e.g., monthly, weekly, daily views).
• Tap on a button to move quickly throughout the planner.

Writing & Annotating

• Use an Apple Pencil (or stylus) to write, highlight, or draw.
• Customize your handwriting with different pen styles, colors, and thicknesses.
• Use the eraser tool to delete mistakes without making a mess.

Adding Notes & Stickers

• Insert text boxes for typed notes.
• Copy and paste digital stickers (PNG images) or your personal photos to decorate your pages.
• Use the Lasso Tool to move handwriting, resize elements, or copy notes between pages.

Duplicating & Customizing Pages

• If you need more pages, you can duplicate templates (e.g., extra to-do lists or habit trackers, finances).
• Rearrange pages to fit your needs.

Searching & Organizing

• GoodNotes has handwriting recognition, so you can search your handwritten notes.
• Organize planners with dividers (e.g., work, personal, school).

Syncing & Backup

• Sync with iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox so you don’t lose your planner.
• Access your planner on multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac).

Why Use a PDF Digital Planner in GoodNotes?

• Eco-friendly (no paper waste).
• Customizable with digital stickers, widgets, and inserts.
• Convenient with easy navigation, search, and cloud backup.

Your Digital Planner is designed to be downloaded as a PDF file and used in a PDF annotation app, such as, Goodnotes, Notability, Note Shelf, or any PDF app that allows you to manipulate (use hyperlinks and write on) PDFs.  We recommend GoodNotes.

DELIVERY
Once purchased you will receive an email with your download link to access your file.  Please keep in a safe place.  Open in your favorite annotation app, such as, GoodNotes.

All purchases are final. Due to the nature of the products, we do not accept returns. This is the industry standard due to several key reasons:

• Unlike physical products, digital products (e.g., PDFs, software, eBooks) are delivered instantly and cannot be “returned” in a traditional sense.
• Once a file is downloaded, the seller cannot take it back, meaning a refund would essentially give the buyer both the product and their money back.
• Marketplaces like Etsy, Gumroad, and App Stores often enforce strict nonrefundable policies for digital products to maintain fairness.
• Allowing refunds could lead to abuse of the system, where buyers repeatedly purchase, download, and refund products.
