Using the scribbles function on pdf files (Onyx Boox Max)

[healinggreen]

Hello,

I'm currently using the Boox Max and have two questions. I tried the user manual but couldn't find anything on this. I was hoping if someone here could help me.

1. I have had my scribbles on pdf files suddenly disappear when I return later to the pages. This has happened twice now. I wonder if there is something I'm doing wrong. Do I need to save the scribbles before I exit the reader app? Normally I just mark on the pdf files and turn the page, then press the home button to get to another file. If I need to save, where is the button?

2. What is the third icon (with double arrows, if you click it, it becomes a +- symbol) from the right on the status bar.

Thank you

Hi

What version of code do you have installed?

I have just purchased this and the latest code. I am having trouble exporting the files.

To save the file on the latest code 1.7.8 there is an icon in the top right corner. Like a disk. Or when I exit the note it autosaves.

However I was able to export on 1.7.5, So i think it's a bug and it needs sorting. As I cannot even find the files when I connect it to my PC. ;-(

Oh I also don't know the 2nd answer ;-(
best regards

I was using 1.7.5. I was on the other thread and saw that it's a software bug, not sure which version though. I've just updated to 1.8.0 today but I haven't tested it yet. I don't want to lose any more notes though. I'm thinking of looking for another app. Would another app work for making notes on pdf files?

there is an export function on 1.8.0....i'm finding this new firmware version works better, less glitchy.

For people wondering, I found the answer for my second question just from playing around. So if the icon in the status bar is a double arrow, you can use the < and > physical buttons to turn the pages. If you click the icon, it changes to a +- sign, and then the < and > physical buttons become volume up and down buttons.

Thanks ;-)

Now we just need to get them to sort out the new NOTE app so I can export my notes ;-( Don't really want to downgrade. I started to checkout other note apps, but not found any that really work well so far.

Looking at Onyx release notes they do state to be fair:-

3.7 Export of the handwritten files is not supported at this time.
