Before you repair
Frequently asked questions
What exactly does NoteMend fix?
A Notability .note package that still references one PDF background, but that PDF file is missing from the package.
Does NoteMend upload my notes?
No. The note and PDF are processed locally in your browser. Normal hosting request data may still be logged by the hosting provider.
Will it change my handwriting?
The repair engine adds the missing PDF copy and does not rewrite handwriting or annotation data.
What if more than one PDF is missing?
NoteMend stops instead of guessing. The launch version repairs only the deterministic one-missing-PDF case.
What is free?
Diagnosis is free. If NoteMend finds a supported repair, it prepares the repaired copy locally first. Unlocking that repaired download costs US$4.99 once. There is no subscription or account.
