ACECAD DIGITAL NOTEPAD

Acecad is the manufacturer of several models of digital notepads. Unfortunately, they do not provide software for Linux. Native files can only be read with the manufacturer programs. However, it is possible to access the files on the device and through third-party solutions overcome most of the limitations of conversion and edition. It is a little bit of dirty work but at least a decent product can be obtained.

This solution is thanks to ETES that comes out with a brilliant solution.

1) Plug the digital notepad into a USB port in the computer. Check the product manual to get the procedure. The digital notepad is recognized as a usb memory.

2) Use a file browser to access the device. There is one file per document page and those files have the extension DHW.

3) Copy the native files to a any location in your hard disk that have write and read privileges.

4) Download this converter from here and then extract it to the folder containing the files of the previous step.

5) Open the terminal and then go to the file containing the document pages.

6) To convert one file to PS choose option a), to PDF option b), and to PNG option c)

7) Assembling a document. What there is now is a bunch of files waiting to be assembled into a single document.

8) Programs for edition.
