Hi, does anyone know how to insert pdf but not fill out the whole page? for example I download the professor's lecture pdf slide to my Samsung tab, then insert that pdf file but I don't want it to fill out the whole note page, I want the pdf to only take up 1/3 of the page, and the remaining 2/3 of the page I can take notes of the professor's speech. Like using Microsoft OneNote, but OneNote on Samsung pdf will be blurry after inserting

'Split screen' or ' popup' might work. ๐Ÿ˜Š

There doesn't seem to be a way to move or resize a PDF added to Samsung Notes.

As a workaround you can open the PDF using Samsung Notes PDF Reader and then select Save as file and then select Image file.

You can then insert the resultant jpg file into a note with the ability to resize.

I tried this and the jpg converted PDF looks good even when resized in the note.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need step-by-step instructions to implement this solution.

No, I don't, sorry. Doesn't look to be designed that way.

You can either create a text box and make notes directly on the PDF or scroll down and make notes on a blank page.
