RemCom - Remarkable Console (0.1)

I looked for a paperless solution and bought a remarkable. But when i want to share some drawings i was frustrated about the quality of the SVG files and PDF files. So this project started with the goal to get better exports through a java terminal based application.

Needs remarkable-api.

The linux based remarkable saves the pages in zip-file and a binary format. Details could be found at https://remarkablewiki.com/start.

Requirements

• Download zip-files of every notebook which is synchronized to the web application
• Export notebook and page to single-page SVG, PNG and PDF
• Export notebook to multi-page PDF
• customize any color for exports (highlight color, black first color, gray secondary color, background color, grid color of template)
• antialiasing svg images

Install

Install the console with maven

$ mvn clean install

Check with mvn --version has JAVA_HOME greater Java 1.8 (see Details). If you not use a high java version with maven build, the error class file has wrong version 55.0, should be 52.0 occurs.

First Startup

When the application is started with

$ java -jar remarkable-console.jar

then is starts registering to the web application https://my.remarkable.com/

Register client to WEB application

To register copy the one-time-code into the terminal. This could be found at https://my.remarkable.com/connect/desktop by registering a 'Desktop App'

RM > Device not registered yet. Please input OneTimeCode from https://my.remarkable.com/connect/desktop:

Download svg templates through SSH

Add into application.properties the remarkable-ip and the remarkable-password. This could be found in the remarkable at Settings > About > Copyrights and licenses > General information (scroll down)

ssh.host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
ssh.password = xxxxxxxxxx

You need to restart the client and must ensure that the remarkable is on.
