reStorable

PDF rendering tool for the reMarkable paper tablet.

Disclaimer

This is a work in progress, not in any way affiliated with reMarkable AS. The PDF output will not be as sophisticated as the one generated by reMarkable's own software.

Getting Started

First, set the path to the xochitl data directory:

$ restorable set-dir /path/to/xochitl

This corresponds to /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl on the reMarkable device. You can, for example, mount it using SSHFS.

Usage

List your documents

$ restorable tree
- Quick Sheets
- Work
  - Archive
    - 2020
      - Notes
  - Meeting minutes
- Private
  - Travel Journal

Save a notebook as PDF

$ restorable render-notebook "Work/Meeting Minutes" meeting-minutes.pdf

Render all notebooks

$ restorable render-all /path/to/pdf_directory

Credit

Credit goes to the reMarkable Wiki and especially to ax3l, who wrote a blog post without which I would not have figured out reMarkable's line file format.

TODO

• Write metadata to PDF
• Use different brush templates for different pens (e.g. pencil)
• Use pressure and rotation to determine line width
