### SVG (or PDF) to notability

This is a very hacky Python script that converts from PDF format to the proprietary Notability

format (Notability is an iOS note-taking app), so that you can **edit** (not just annotate) the

resulting files in Notability.

This was written for my own personal use (converting handwritten documents exported from Squid on

Android) and may or may not work for anyone else. Sharing this because I spent 5ish hours writing

it, in the hopes that it may be useful to someone else.

### requirements

* plistutil on Linux

* Inkscape

### usage

```

pip install -r requirements.txt

# creates my-file.note in current directory

python svg2notability.py my-file.pdf

# works with svg or pdf

python svg2notability.py my-file.svg

```

### limitations

* only handles an extremely limited subset of SVGs. your average SVG will probably not work

* can't create notes with multiple pages

* gets your page sizes wrong

* doesn't handle squares

* probably lots more things I'm leaving out
