Under the assumption that $\delta$ is a Woodin cardinal and $\GCH$ holds, I show that if $F$ is any class function from the regular cardinals to the cardinals such that (1) $\kappa<\cf(F(\kappa))$, (2) $\kappa<\lambda$ implies $F(\kappa)\leq F(\lambda)$, and (3) $\delta$ is closed under $F$, then there is a cofinality-preserving forcing extension in which $2^\gamma= F(\gamma)$ for each regular cardinal $\gamma<\delta$, and in which $\delta$ remains Woodin. Unlike the analogous results for supercompact cardinals [Men76] and strong cardinals [FH08], there is no requirement that the function $F$ be locally definable.
