This example demonstrates a workflow for sending academic PDFs to a reMarkable tablet directly from a DOI reference on a webpage. It shows how a DOI retrieved from a hovered reference is used to fetch and download the corresponding PDF, then transfer it to the device via SSH. The code uses Express with CORS to handle HTTP requests, `execSync` for shell commands like `curl` and `wget`, and `scp` for file transfer. The visualization aspect is minimal, focusing on the automated pipeline rather than graphical output.

This example demonstrates a web server that forwards a PDF from a URL directly to a reMarkable tablet. It shows how an HTTP request containing a `pdf` query parameter triggers a download and upload cycle, ultimately returning the uploaded document’s ID as JSON. The code uses Express with CORS for the server, Node’s `https` module for fetching the remote PDF, and the `remarkable-typescript` library to authenticate via a device token and upload the file. The visualization’s behavior is purely functional, with no graphical rendering involved.

This visualization demonstrates a shell-based toolkit for managing a reMarkable tablet’s document library, showing how to query, sync, and convert PDF and EPUB files via command-line functions. It uses `grep`, `sed`, `jq`, and `qrencode` to extract metadata like bookmarked pages and last-read positions, then generates QR codes or PDF summaries with ImageMagick’s `convert`. The code also synchronizes reading progress across two devices using `scp` and `ssh`, restarting the `xochitl` service to trigger file detection. Data originates from the tablet’s local JSON metadata and content files under `~/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl/`.

This example shows a Telegram bot that lets users send documents, photos, or URLs to a reMarkable tablet, automatically adding them as readable files. The bot uses `node-telegram-bot-api` with polling to listen for commands and messages, while `child_process.execSync` runs shell commands like `wget` to download content and `adddoc` to insert files into the tablet’s storage. It distinguishes between PDF/EPUB links and other URLs, generating a minimal ePub from a template when needed, then restarts the `xochitl` service to refresh the device’s library.

This shell script demonstrates a workflow for syncing highlights from a reMarkable tablet to the Readwise API. It iterates through directories containing highlight files, extracts the document title from accompanying metadata, and processes JSON highlight data using `jq`. The script filters out empty highlights, constructs JSON payloads with the text, title, and author, then sends them via `curl` POST requests to `https://readwise.io/api/v2/highlights/` with an authorization token. The output is a series of API calls that populate a Readwise library with annotated passages.

This example shows a shell script that synchronizes PDF and EPUB files from a Nextcloud instance to a reMarkable tablet, automatically adding the necessary metadata and content files so the documents appear in the tablet’s library. The script uses `rsync` to transfer files, `mount.davfs` to access the Nextcloud WebDAV endpoint, and custom helper functions to generate `.metadata` and `.content` JSON files for each new document. It also tracks newly added files in `/tmp/newfilesaddedduringsync` and optionally restarts the `xochitl` service if a configuration file requests it.

An A-Frame scene places PDFs as spatial objects, and a pencil-shaped writing target detects when the user moves within a five-unit proximity. Upon approach, the code sends the PDF’s URL to a local server via `fetch`, triggering a transfer to a reMarkable tablet, while a `setInterval` checks proximity every second. The animation shows the interaction logic, using A-Frame’s `object3D` positioning and the `media-pdf` component to identify source documents, with a deduplication flag preventing repeated sends.

This shell script demonstrates how to insert a blank page into a reMarkable tablet PDF file, using the `qpdf` command to split and reassemble pages and `jq` to manipulate the tablet’s JSON metadata. It locates the insertion point from a page title, renumbers all subsequent PDF pages, and shifts the corresponding `.rm` annotation and highlight files to new UUIDs based on the updated `.content` page array. The script relies on `xochitl-data` file paths and handles page-count calculations via `jq`.

Use ronnywang/pdf-table-extractor CLI to extract CSV files

This example demonstrates how to extract tabular data from PDF files into JSON using the ronnywang/pdf-table-extractor command-line tool. It shows a shell-based workflow that clones the pdf-table-extractor repository alongside Mozilla’s pdf.js library, builds pdf.js with gulp, and then runs the `parse-cmd.js` script to convert a specified PDF input into structured JSON output. The code relies on Node.js, npm, gulp, and the pdf.js rendering engine to parse table cells, making the extracted data available for further processing or visualization.
