Downloading + extracting PDFs

[jakecminihan]

Hi there!

I've been playing around using this and it's great, thank you for your work. I can successfully upload documents to my RM, but I can't figure out how to download ZipDocuments and extract them - I'd like to create a script that can automatically encrypt notebooks I make and return them to the RM Cloud. Here's the code I have working - no idea if this bit is even right or not!

from rmapy.api import Client, ZipDocument

rm = Client()

rm.renew_token()

Doc = [ i for i in rm.get_meta_items() if i.VissibleName == "TestDoc" ][0]
print(Doc)

Printing gives <rmapy.document.Document document ID>.

downloaded_file = rm.download(Doc)
print(downloaded_file)

Again, this yields <rmapy.document.ZipDocument document ID>. Looking at the code, I'm not sure what I should do next. Thank you!

Aha the missing documentation 😄 !

you’re right on track!

rmapy.document.ZipDocument has a dump() function , to dump the contents into a zipfile.

In your example you could do something like this:

downloaded_file = rm.download(Doc)
downloaded_file.dump("/where/to/store/document.zip")

After you’re done encrypting,

you can follow the guide to upload it back again here
but should be something like this:

from rmapy.document import ZipDocument
from rmapy.api import Client

# loads the zip back into a ZipDocument class
to_upload = ZipDocument(file="/where/to/store/document_encrypted.zip")

rm = Client()
rm.renew_token()
rm.upload(to_upload)

let me know if you need anymore pointers!

Thank you for replying 😄 I'm now 90% of the way there, but I get a really weird error when using ZipDocument:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test2.py", line 112, in <module>
    to_upload = ZipDocument(file= (zip_path + ".zip"))
  File "/home/jake/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rmapy/document.py", line 247, in __init__
    self.load(file)
  File "/home/jake/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rmapy/document.py", line 329, in load
    with zf.open(f"{self.ID}.content", 'r') as content:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/zipfile.py", line 1375, in open
    zinfo = self.getinfo(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/zipfile.py", line 1304, in getinfo
    'There is no item named %r in the archive' % name)
KeyError: "There is no item named 'bfef0d76-c4ce-4ed3-8912-a4fcf2bf5fe2.content' in the archive"

The ID of the "There is no item named" changes each time, and I can't work out what this error is and why it's happening! The dumped zip and encrypted zip have the same file structure (a .content, .pagedata, .pdf then a subfolder with 3 .rm's and .json's) and same ID's. I'm sure it's something I've overlooked, but no idea what it is!

I think the zip file needs the same uuid as the files in the zip content. So: <uuid>.zip Could you post your test2.py content in full?

I've just tried implementing that, and it still won't work! It would appear that the UUID is changing from the downloaded document? Here is my code - apologies if it's not great, I'm more than happy to elaborate on any sections that aren't clear! For reference, I'm using a dummy pdf downloaded from https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf.

I've just realised - I think the change comes when I output.write - it's technically a new PDF document I think, because of the way the encrypter has to work. I guess I'd then have to find the new UUID of the doc and change the names of the associated documents too. Any idea how I could find the new UUID?

[jakecminihan]

OK, here's a breakdown of what is currently going on:

• I can download PDFs, encrypt them, and re-upload them but only using ZipDocument(doc="...) and not ZipDocument(file=..., which means that I lose all annotations when doing this
• It looks like the document ID for the pdf changes. I first thought it was due to the encryption process, but I added in code to find the new ID after encryption (using x = ZipDocument(file="...) then looking at the output of x should give the new ID; I then updated all the files in the directory to have this new ID before zipping. This didn't work, so I think perhaps the zipping process might change the ID as well?
• I'm also unsure how to download folders of notebooks from the remarkable, and how to convert .rm's to pdf, but that's an extension for now and beyond this issue thread
