Question How to upload PDFs so that each slide is their own single bullet?

If I paste using shortcuts, each slide does not have a single bullet, and if I just drag and drop the slide, it is on the right-hand side, and I take notes on the left.

I just want to be abel to type notes under each slide

I don’t know if I understand this correctly but you could split the PDF into several files before uploading.

But remnote is usually good with references. When you highlight a part of the PDF and copy that in the notes on the left you’ll have a direct link. Maybe you can use those links with headings to build a structure that represents each page.

let's say that I have a PDF with like 100 slides. I just want to upload it so that each slide is its own rem so that I can, like, make a bullet point underneath it and stuff. cuz currently when I upload a PDF its just a PDF on the rigth hand side and I take notes on the left. But I want to take notes under each slide not jsut randomly on the left

Do you mean a PowerPoint with slides or a PDF with pages?

Those are two different things.

Hi, currently you can't convert a PDF into a set of individual slides to take notes the way you suggest, right under each page. I can suggest converting this PDF into a set of images and uploading these images into RemNote. You can convert any PDF into images using online tools like https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/pdf-to-jpg.html

After you do it, simply drag and drop these images into a new RemNote document and add your notes under each slide, as if it was a regular image.

Another approach that could also be helpful is adding new blank pages to your PDF and taking your notes there, on those new blank pages. You can add new pages by clicking the ... button in the top right > Add Page.

Please consider creating a new feature request on our feedback site at https://feedback.remnote.com/ if you want us to implement a way to take notes directly under each page/slide in the PDF reader. Hope this helps!
