Better way of merging Scribbles?
I've got my iRex 1000S since yesterday. Overall, I like it - but I am rather disappointed in how the iRex Companion Software merges Scribbles with PDFs. The lines become very blocky - see the close-up of my attachment.
Does anyone know of a way of merging the Scribbles so that the lines will become smoother? For the record, I am using Windows NT (though I have installed cygwin, if that helps). |

Thanks a lot!
I've installed it, and it seems to work so far. However, I have a very stupid question: When you choose the "Annotate PDF" function and try to open a PDF, where can you find the folder where all your "normal" documents are located? |

Back to your question: Xournal shows the folder in which it was started by default. In the top-left corner of the file-dialog, you see 3 icons. In the first one you recognise an arrow, it for going one folder up. The 2nd bring you to the root of the internal flash (you would normally not want to save/load anything from here. The 3rd is the interesting one, it brings you to the root of the SD-card. |

Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how I could display the xoj files the program generates under Windows? Quote:

Unfortunately, this function does not seem to work when I click on it (unlike the "save as" function). Maybe I installed the wrong components, or in the wrong order?
I copied the contents of first "Programs_PdfV3a.zip" and then "Programs_PdfV4a.zip" from this post and then "xournal.zip" from this post into my device, in that order. Then I used the Installer. I also noticed that the refresh rates when drawing are extremely, further hinting that I made some mistake during installation. Can you help me out? |

Xournal doesn't refresh the display as quickly as one may wish yet, but Mackx is working on it.
As you are a winddows user, you can donwload a copy of Xournal for Windows and it will open the .xoj files adn allow further mods (or so it says, I have a Mac and there isn't a mac version) As far as I recall, V4a may have a few issues yet and so I've stuck to V3 just now, but keeping a watchful eye on things.

You should have a Xournal and XournalEx short-cut. The first starts the V3a and the 2nd the V4a. Some questions: - When you select 'Export to PDF' you will not see anything (no dialog?)? - If you do a save as, do you get a tiny dialog (3 or 4 files) or a big one (10-12 files)? |

Note that you can have both V3 and V4 versions installed, since V4 is only an executable that is installed in a different location. So you could switch between both version very easily. |

OK, this is strange.
In the /Programs/ folder on my 1000S, there is both an xournal.desktop and an xournalEX.desktop file. But in the Home menu, there is only a link to Xournal, not XournalEx. |
