How to import your planner into Samsung Notes

Samsung Notes is free on Galaxy tablets and follows the links in an imported planner. Start with pages sized for a 16:10 Android screen and the rest is quick.

You'll need

  • A Galaxy Tab or other Android tablet with Samsung Notes
  • A planner in the Android tablet format

39-second video with captions, no sound. Filmed on the real site and real planner pages.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Pick the Android format

    In the builder's Device step, choose Android tablet portrait or landscape. The pages are drawn to fill a 16:10 screen.

  2. 2

    Download on the tablet

    Download the PDF in Chrome or Samsung Internet. It lands in Downloads in the My Files app.

  3. 3

    Import the PDF

    Open Samsung Notes and use its Import PDF option, then choose your planner from Downloads.

  4. 4

    Wait for the import

    A planner with daily pages can take a minute or two. Let it finish before you start tapping.

  5. 5

    Switch to read mode

    Links respond when you're not writing. Switch to read (view) mode, then tap a tab or a date to jump.

  6. 6

    Switch back to write

    Turn editing back on to write. Many people set the S Pen button to the eraser for quick fixes.

  7. 7

    Back it up

    Sync with Samsung Cloud, and download your planner again from the dashboard whenever you need a fresh copy.
