I tested the synchronization and did some annotations on my Remarkable 2. it seems that not all of them are shown in Mendeley, especially not the automatic text highlights.

Any ideas?

Yes, I'm having the exact same problem.... any ideas?

I think I know what's happening... The reMarkable needs to 'send' the pdf first, and when it does this, I think it flattens the annotations. It does this when it sends it to OneDrive or to Google Drive, or when it emails it. Can we force the file to flatten before it gets synced back to Mendeley?

Is there any chance that remarks (https://github.com/lucasrla/remarks) could be integrated between the file being downloaded from the reMarkable and synched with Mendeley? This would allow for text highlights to be properly resolved as RMAPI doesn't yet do this. I have tried to figure this out on my own, but unfortunately, my coding skills (particularly in python) aren't up to it! 😬 It would make this utility absolutely perfect!
