Navigating PDFs in our apps

We’ve added support for clickable links in PDFs in the mobile and desktop apps. Now you can easily navigate inside documents using links, or click on an external link to open it in your web browser. Make sure to update your mobile and desktop apps to use these features.


Importing annotated PDFs to your reMarkable

In order to transfer annotated PDFs (for example, a PDF you've made notes on electronically) from a computer to your reMarkable, you'll need to select the print option and save the document as a new file. Here's how: 
 

  1. Open the PDF on your computer.
  2. Select the print option and save the document as a new file. 
  3. Transfer the new file to your reMarkable by using the desktop app or via my.remarkable.com.


You can’t open files with DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions on your reMarkable.
