Sharing documents from your reMarkable paper tablet is a straightforward process, primarily done via email directly from the device itself. This allows you to quickly send your notes, sketches, and documents to colleagues, friends, or even yourself for archiving.
Emailing Documents Directly from Your reMarkable
The most common method for sharing a document involves sending it as an email attachment. Ensure your reMarkable device is connected to a Wi-Fi network to use this feature.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Long-press on the specific file or notebook you wish to share from your reMarkable device's home screen or within a folder. This action will select the item and bring up an action bar at the top.
- Tap "Send" in the action bar located at the top of the screen.
- Add your recipient(s): You can select from "Recently used" email addresses or enter a new one under the "Send to" option. You can send to multiple recipients if needed.
- Compose an optional message: Tap on "Add message" and use the on-screen keyboard to type any accompanying text for your email. This is useful for providing context about the shared document.
- Confirm and send: Once you have added your message (if any) and verified the recipients, tap "Confirm" to send the email with your document attached.
The document will be sent from your reMarkable device's connected email service. It's often sent from a generic reMarkable-associated email, but the sender name can sometimes be customized through your reMarkable account settings.
Understanding Sharing Formats
When you share a document from your reMarkable, it's typically sent in a universally compatible format. The reMarkable device offers flexibility in how your work is presented:
| File Format | Description | Common Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| PDF (.pdf) | Portable Document Format, preserving original layout and formatting. | Ideal for sharing notes, annotated documents, and finished work. |
| PNG (.png) | Portable Network Graphics, a raster image format with lossless compression. | Best for sharing sketches, drawings, or individual pages as images. |
| SVG (.svg) | Scalable Vector Graphics, a vector image format that retains quality at any size. | Suitable for sharing precise drawings or diagrams that need to be scaled without pixelation. |
You can usually select the desired format before sending, ensuring your recipient receives the document in the most appropriate form.
Other Ways to Access and Share reMarkable Content
Beyond direct emailing from the device, there are several other convenient methods to manage and share your reMarkable files:
- reMarkable Desktop and Mobile Apps:
- Install the reMarkable Desktop app on your computer or the mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Ensure your reMarkable device is connected to the internet and synchronized with your reMarkable cloud account.
- From the app, you can easily view, download, and share your documents to other applications, cloud storage services, or email clients on your computer or phone. This gives you more control over the sharing process and allows for integration with other platforms.
- reMarkable Connect Subscription:
- With a reMarkable Connect subscription, all your notes and documents are securely synced to the reMarkable cloud.
- This allows you to access your files from anywhere via the web interface or the reMarkable apps, making it simple to download and share them using your preferred method on another device.
- Connect also enables unlimited cloud storage and other exclusive features.
Tips for Seamless Sharing
- Reliable Wi-Fi Connection: Always ensure your reMarkable is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network for successful email sending and cloud synchronization.
- Check File Size: While reMarkable documents are generally small, very large notebooks with extensive handwriting or numerous pages might take slightly longer to send or upload.
- Keep Software Updated: Regularly update your reMarkable device software to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes for optimal sharing functionality.
By utilizing these methods, you can efficiently share your reMarkable creations and collaborate with others.
