Renate, thank you for your kind reply.

I am generating the template by creating a new A5 document in Good Docs, importing my logo and typing my info into the header and footer, then just using the underline key to create the lines. Then I export that Google doc as a pdf to my desktop. From there, I loaded it onto a usb drive then copied it directly to the notes templates folder of the Boox.

All of this works like a charm and the notes I create this way on the Boox look great. I use the share button to upload to my Google Drive then import that note into my patient pdf file via Nitro Pro, a pdf editor for Windows. The only fly in the ointment: my template is A5, the size of a half page of copy paper and the notes I generate are poster size. I did try to flatten the pdf, but that only flattened the background, not the scribbles.

It is a good implementation by Onyx in that there are no jagged lines. If I were a student and I didn't need to match these notes to anything else I would just zoom far out and go about my merry way.

Yes, printing to paper with "Print to Fit" works great, but then I would need to print them out, then scan them back into my patient document.

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

Much easier to take notes on a piece of paper and scan that directly to my patient document, my current method of updating medical records.

I'm not using NeoReader for anything in this process. I've never opened it on this device, I just use Kindle reader to read books.

I don't know what "(size 105,581,292)" means nor how I would enter that in or what software I would enter that into. I don't have the training or background to tinker with the inner working of these aps, although I have deep respect to those of you who can.

Yokos - are you saying I could use a png files as the background template? I'll try that and see what happens. Is "knote" the built in note taking app on the Boox? In that case, yes that's the one I'm using.

I am a Boox newbie in case this isn't already very evident.

I see in Google Play there are many note taking apps to try. Does anyone have a favorite of those?
