Importing PDF File onto reMarkable 2

Use the reMarkable desktop app or the reMarkable mobile app to transfer documents and ebooks onto your device. Once imported, your files will be synced across your connected devices. reMarkable works best with our custom-built apps for iPhone, Android, PC and Mac. You can locate the app at my.remarkable.com/myfiles. ProTip: You can also simply upload the file through the web interface.

Step 1: Download zip file from your account or order email. 

Step 2: Use your computer to extract the file from the zip.
(To extract a zip file on your computer, start by locating the zip file in your folders. Right-click on the file, and you should see an option like “Extract All” or “Unzip.” Select that option, and a dialog box will appear, allowing you to choose a destination folder where the extracted files will be saved. Confirm your choice by clicking “Extract” or “OK.” The files will then be unzipped and accessible in the selected folder. If you’re using a Mac, simply double-click the zip file, and it will automatically extract the contents into the same folder.)

Step 3: Sign into my.remarkable.com/myfiles with your account information. (Important note: If you get a message your files are not supported, you likely skipped step 2.

Step 4: Upload the PDF Planner you choose to use. (What are the download options?)
