GoodNotes PDF Checker

Checking tool access…
Check before you import
See if a PDF has real hyperlinks, consistent sizing, and the right orientation before it reaches GoodNotes.
Private by default
The report runs inside your browser, so your planner file never leaves your device during the check.
Part of a longer workflow
The checker is strongest when it sits beside the rest of your planner tools, not as a dead-end one-time test.

Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?▾
No. The checker uses pdf.js inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Nothing is stored, logged, or sent to PlannerPier.
What does it actually check?▾
Page count, hyperlinks (link annotations), page orientation and dimensions, aspect-ratio fit for iPad, page-size consistency, file size, and PDF version.
How many times can I try it before paying?▾
Free visitors get 3 planner-tool sessions across PlannerPier. That lets you see the full report with real files before unlimited checks move into Premium.
Will it work for any planner, not just PlannerPier?▾
Yes. Drop any digital planner PDF from any shop. The checks are GoodNotes and Notability standards, not PlannerPier specific.
Why does it say my PDF has no hyperlinks?▾
Either the planner was never hyperlinked, or the links are visual buttons drawn on top of the page instead of real PDF link annotations. Real annotations are what GoodNotes recognizes as tappable.
