v2.3.1 - Note 2 - Notes PDF Vector Export

Hi, 

It seems like the only way to get handwritten notes to export as VECTOR graphics in a PDF is to sync with the cloud. 

For security reasons, I require an offline solution. PDFs exported from the Notes app contain raster graphics and do not scale well; the output is not useful. 

Is there an existing way to export notes locally as PDFs with vector graphics? If not, this is a crucial, basic feature that MUST be implemented in an update.

Thank you!

  I have the same issue. The odd thing is, it used to export vectors just fine.

  I have the same issue. I have upgraded my Boox Note Air to firmware version 3.2.
  When I export notes (generate  PDF or PNG file from a notepad) I get a low-quality PDF vectors or a low-resolution PNG raster.

  Vector quality was much higher with the previous version of firmware.
  Please restore the quality of PDF vectors, and allow us to export high-resolution PNG, like x2, x3, or x4 resolution size.

  See pictures for more details.

  Thanks for sharing, Darko.

  It looks like your PDF export has the real vector data but is missing the variable line thickness, so it looks "messy". I don't really understand why this is a difficult thing for Boox to fix... The PDF vector generation worked fine for sync to Dropbox (I haven't tried it in a while), so it should be easy to implement locally.

  Please send them feedback through the tablet settings so they know this is still a problem and people are waiting for a solution.

  Thanks for the info Ahanu

  Please note that I have exactly the same issue with Dropbox share, since these are the same files - generated via export function.

  Since 3.2, I no longer have notebooks as PDF-s immediately available via push.boox.com, as it was the case for the previous version of firmware.

  I sent them feedback through the tablet Settings > Feedback.

  They already replied that it will be fixed with the next update.
  That was really efficient!

  However, they did not specify when we can expect the update.
