Then, as I draw in Goodnotes in a document called, say, Figure, a PDF appears at ~/Dropbox/Apps/GoodNotes 5/Goodnotes/Figure.pdf. All you have to do is enable dropbox syncing. The nice thing about Goodnotes that it can do a realtime sync with Dropbox. Drawing the figures on the iPadĮven though I primarily use Notabilty on my iPad, I had to use Goodnotes for the simple reason that I need the figures I draw to immediately be available on my laptop.


Here I’d like to share what I came up with. The question is how to achieve this, while being as frictionless as possible.

My ideal setup for taking notes in LaTeX would be: as I am typing and I find the need to have a figure, I quickly draw it on my the iPad and it magically shows up in my LaTeX document immediately. So when writing notes in a TeX document, I found myself wanting to insert these hand-drawn figures quickly. Inserting the figure in the TeX document in EmacsĮver since I started doing most of my work on an iPad, one of the things I love is the ability to quickly make nice figures.
