Importing documents larger than 100MB
Requirements
- have ssh access to your device (see SSH access on remarkable.guide)
- know how to transfer files via ssh (see transferring files on remarkable.guide)
- this guide currently only works for PDFs, not EPUBs (soonâ„¢)
Transfer your document
Example (replace <file.pdf> with the filename of the file):
scp <file.pdf> root@10.11.99.1:/home/root/temp.pdf
See transferring files on remarkable.guide for a more in-depth information. Transfer the file to /home/root/temp.pdf on the tablet.
Add the file to documents
On your tablet, run the following commands:
Generate an internal document ID:
document_id=$(uuidgen)
Set the filename of the document (replace <name-visible-in-the-ui> with your desired filename):
document_filename="<name-visible-in-the-ui>"
Move the file to the documents folder:
mv temp.pdf /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/$document_id.pdf
Setup file metadata:
echo '{"createdTime":"'"$(date +%s)"'000","lastModified":"'"$(date +%s)"'000","type":"DocumentType","visibleName":"'"$document_filename"'"}' > /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/$document_id.metadata
echo '{"fileType":"pdf"}' > /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/$document_id.content
Restart your tablet
Or restart the main program (faster, and doesn't stop xovi):
systemctl restart xochitl
After the restart, your document might look weird (no thumbnail, page 1 of 0). Just open the document and its metadata will automatically be corrected.
