Based on this, you can:
-open blank document
-make scribbles
-export it
-rename exported file
-move it into parent folder (optional)
-delete all scribbles in the source (originaly blank) document
-repeat five previous steps as much as you want

Or: -Create many blank one- or multi-paged documents at once on the PC which will differs by something (title, header, footer, etc.) and use them as you like.

There are also other PDF-readers which allow to make scribbles in PDF files and even add/remove pages from it and save changes into the source file. For example ezPDF reader...
You're a doll

My problem with the first method is:

5 steps?!? especially: removing all scribbles after exporting in order to clean up my document again and: losing the possibility to edit my scribbles once they are exported. Also: when using that method, whatever new scribbles I might add to any of the exported documents would appear on all documents I've exported from the same original blank pdf.

Oh well... I'll probably be stuck with the "create many blank documents"-method. Ive tried other apps to write in but the writing experience is just exhaustingly tedious especially since I'm considering using the device to jot down fieldnotes quite quickly.

Just to be sure: You're saying that it's enough to create 20 pdfs on my pc that only differ by filename and they would be treated as different documents? That's great news.
