PDF to Editable Remarkable Notebook (Mac OS)

Converting a PDF to an editable reMarkable Notebook

Use case: Working with PDF text books, it can be helpful to be able to extract problems and images to use in notes and when working problemsets on the reMarkable tablet.

These instructions are MacOS centric, but should be reproducable on most platforms as the tools are fairly platform agnostic.

Requirements

  • homebrew - package manager for installing components
  • DrawJ2d - Convert PDF to remarkable notebook (rmn) format

Returned Column References

The columns section of the XML document refer to the columsn that will be offered in the Data Export Manager screens. The text of the column name is arbitrary and can be anything, but the <column column="TABLE.FIELD"> portion must referr to a "core" table of powerschool. When in doubt, use column="STUDENTS.ID"

Tunnel ssh connections through firewalls

SSH Tunnels

Situation: Local Network Firewall blocks outgoing connections to remote hosts on port 22

In this situation it is not possible to connect to remote hosts (e.g. github.com) for managing repos over ssh. A tunnel through a remote host (tunnel.myhost.com) can remedy this. An ssh configuration file can be added to the ~/.ssh/config directory to specify a specific command for connecting github.com. See also How to setup SSH Tunneling

Setup

  1. create a tunnel host that accepts incomming connections:
    • tunnel.myhost.com
  2. install nc

Setup Python pyenv for Jupyter with nbconvert on Mac OS

If nbconvert throws a similar error, it is likely because the jupyter installation is not setup properly within a pyenv
