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 2.0.2.0.

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)
• rmapi
• rM2svg
• svgexport
• pdfinfo
• pdfunite
• pdftk

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

• opencv-python
• numpy
• pdftoppm
