JNT to PDF conversion #38

Open edemaine opened 8 years ago

Probably need a Windows machine monitoring server and doing automatic conversion. Approaches:

Use a conversion service like https://www.freepdfconvert.com/ ($100 for life, but no API) or http://www.convertapi.com/ (API but expensive)
Convert automating printing to PDF. Sounds like it's possible... SodaPDF also seems like it does most of the automation needed.
Convert by manually parsing JNT. Probably more reliable but more work. Could potentially make SVG.

Microsoft plans to remove Windows Journal. They apparently provide a reinstallable download, but maybe we should get our data out of this format sooner rather than later.

Ouch, thanks for the heads up. Now if only there were a good alternative...
