maxio VS reSnap

b) JSON files for metadata and rm2svg for the dedicated fileformat https://github.com/reHackable/maxio/blob/master/tools/rM2svg

I personally rely on rM2svg.py I believe from https://github.com/reHackable/maxio/blob/master/tools/rM2svg with ss/rsync. Also stuck to 2.x, didn't try 3.x yet.

The native Lines (or .rm) file format is indeed vector based. It's not SVG though but you can convert it with community made tools, e.g https://github.com/reHackable/maxio/blob/master/tools/rM2svg but there are several others https://github.com/reHackable/awesome-reMarkable#lines-format

That's great! Actually, there is a library for .rm to .svg as well (https://github.com/reHackable/maxio/tree/master/tools), so maybe that's even easier to edit than a pdf-file... Not too familiar with that kind of stuff though!

But you can just ssh into the remarkable, it runs a Linux kernel. And then install software you want. I only use reSnap (which i wrote) and reStream

I export a notebook into a pdf using the reMarkable web interface (and a USB cable). I have a few pages that i created using `reSnap` (https://github.com/cloudsftp/reSnap) since I sometime don't want the highlight to appear yellow. `reSnap` create images with dimension of 1404 x 1872 while the build-in export create pages of 928 x 1238. Just FYI, I use `pdftoppm` tool to break the pdf into multiple images. I resize the big images to be 928 x 1237 using gimp and I use `convert` to re-create the pdf.

First install reSnap (https://github.com/cloudsftp/reSnap) and ImageMagic (https://github.com/cloudsftp/reSnap).

Here is the link to the github repo if you are interested in it. I preffered to not install all on my laptop so I just create a docker container with all the stuff set up correctly.
