What size pdf in pixels for iPad?

Hi,

I'm wanting to create a planner that can be used on an any size iPad in Goodnotes or without goodnotes.

What is the size in pixels I would use so that it will work/look good on most or all iPads? I have tried googling and I can't find a consistent answer.

I guess if I had to choose one size it would be for the largest iPad screen size available.

Thanks, Naomi

keynote exporting pages bigger than the slides on ipad I’m making a digital planner with clickable links on Keynote for Goodnotes, on iPad. This is not my first time. I’ve made the same slides sizes for years and had no problem : around 2000 px height, 1000 width. But lately, I couldn’t find a way to export properly. It seems that my exported PDF is creating a bigger page size than my slides. Which means that on Goodnotes, the writing will become too small. The problem really comes from Keynote, as I’ve made a chat with Goodnotes and we discovered that the slides are way too big. But on that same planner, when I export one page from the pdf version as an image, the size is the actual size that I custom created in the first place (a little smaller than the screen size). I’ve tried every PDF export option as I want to keep my links clickable. I need help please ! Thank you !

Cropping pdfs on ipad So, does anyone know how to crop a pdf on iPad Pro? I can’t do it. Or it’s so deeply hidden that it fails to be intuitive. I’ve tried opening in books, but there’s no crop option. Not when opening as a file.

Why do cropped pdfs falsely display in iOS16.6 on my iPhone13ProMax? The indicated pdfs being displayed in iOS 16.6 Apple Books on my iPhone 13ProMax are being wrongly displayed. If I break up a pdf into pages for one final one pdf, why does Apple Books display as the original long "Save As PDF" from Safari? The original save as pdf is a long galley-like pdf. I run this long save as pdf through PDFCutter. app which can make a multi-page pdf from the original one galley. MacOS13.5.1 displays the multipage final pdf w correct dimensions. Why can't iOS on my iPhone13ProMax? My 11" iPad Pro displays correctly, but not the iPhone.

I would use a regular Letter size document. Create a basic mock up and then generate it/ save it as PDF and then open it up in GoodNotes / Notability.

Hope this helps.

pdfs are not images so they do as such do not have pixel density
