rm-dl-annotated's Introduction

rm-dl-annotated

Export annotated PDFs from ReMarkable tablets.

I read lots of papers on my RM tablet. It's super cool to be able to scribble notes and highlight them, but later I want to go back and review the notes and unfortunately the interface on the actual RM sucks for that. I made this simple utility so I could scroll through the PDFs on my laptop and see my highlights and notes at a glance during review.

It also works for notebooks.

Tested with reMarkable tablet software version 2.3.0.16.

Example

rm-dl-annotated.sh "/Super Cool Research Paper I Scribbled All Over"

Generates ./"Super Cool Research Paper (exported).pdf" with the scribbles on top of the original PDF.

Dependencies

All these things need to be on your path, and you need to have given rmapi access to your ReMarkable Cloud account:

python
ImageMagick (convert)
pdfinfo (from poppler-utils)
pdfunite (from poppler-utils)
qpdf
rmapi
svgexport
rM2svg

If any of your PDFs have been cropped on your ReMarkable then you will also need:

pdftoppm (from poppler-utils)

And the following Python libraries:

As of this writing the reHackable rM2svg hasn't been updated to support new versions of the .lines file format for new version of the ReMarkable tablet OS, so I suggest using the fork by delaere.

Installation

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt install imagemagick poppler-utils qpdf
pip install opencv-python numpy

Follow the installation instructions on the project pages for rmapi, rM2svg (download the script and put it in a directory on your PATH like /usr/bin), and svgexport.

rm-dl-annotated's Issues

Not working for "reMarkable .lines file, version=3"

this tools seems not working for "reMarkable .lines file, version=3 ", would you please check?

get pdf from reMarkable notebook

Is there a possibility to export a notebook as pdf??

Annotations not in right place if created with cropped view

Nice bringing together of a number of tools! And the script works very well generally. However, if you make annotations when the PDF is presented in a cropped view on the tablet, the annotations are not overlaid properly on the PDF when combined.

This may not be a problem with your script as such as. My guess is that the conversion to SVG from .lines does not offset the image using any crop information (assuming that information is available in the first place).

Add the option to sync via USB

where to run the command?

I just wanted to make sure i understand the usage of this tool. is this command running on my laptop?
rm-dl-annotated.sh "/Super Cool Research Paper I Scribbled All Over"

KeyError: 'transform'

Hi @jmpint,

I wonder if you can help me with this. I get the following initial error (with RM1 2.12.1.527) when I run

rm-dl-annotated.sh "/MYDIR/MYSUBDIR/MYFILE

Traceback (most recent call last):

main()
File "/home/user/git/rm-dl-annotated/is-transformed.py", line 27, in main
transform = content_data['transform']
KeyError: 'transform'

and the following final warnings

WARNING: 6f73712f-0bd1-45bb-b4cf-42c2df4a751e_annotations.pdf: reported number of objects (981) is not one plus the highest object number (1692)

Finally I cannot find any MYFILE (exported).pdf

Thanks for your time
