I'm having trouble with the PDFminer library in Python. Whenever I try to call a certain function it says that something is missing in the library itself
The Github page says it's been superseded by pdfminer.six. Perhaps try that instead.

exporting handwritten dataset as text, export it and use it as a csv
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Remarkable OCR is not up to these kinds of tasks unfortunately. If you know some coding you could write something that’d likely work well in Python using for ex. this for receiving the mail attachment and this for converting the PDF to CSV. This is in case you’d write your data as a table on the Remarkable, which I guess is preferable to writing something like (0.5, 8.4, -0.3). If you’d rather do it that way, there are other more suitable OCR tools like this one. The checkbox use-case in the comment above would also be possible by modifying this approach. DM if you’d like to discuss further work.
