I really like to order a second RM2. I’m in doubt if I want a Type Folio or not with this one.

I like to use this RM2 for work. I’m making contracts which the customer can sign directly. So my Adobe Sign account can go into trash from now on ;).

I think it’s more easy to type on a PDF and let my costumer sign. But I read that it isn’t possible to type on PDF’s a the moment. Will this become possible in the nearby future?

I also write a lot. I really like the feeling of handwriting, but a keyboard is more fast sometimes.

So my question is; should I order a Type Folio so that I’m prepared for the future or should I go for the regular folio without keyboard?

Honestly, the set is 40 euros more than without keyboard, so it’s not the world. And I see that you can hide the keyboard so you have the same position for handwriting as with the normal folio, it’s only a little thicker and a bit more heavy.

Can someone convince ma about what to do. What is your choice?

(Sorry for my little bit bad English sometimes haha)

    I wouldn’t hold your breath when it comes to being able to type on a PDF.

    Here’s a suggestion …

    • Type whatever you need into an “original” document on a computer.

    • Use RCU to “print” the finished document to a PDF on the reMarkable tablet.

      I use macOS, I’m not sure if the “virtual printer” functionality exists for windows or linux. If not, export the original to a PDF using whatever software you have on the computer, then send it to the reMarkable tablet (using RCU, or by uploading it through the tablet’s web interface).

    • Use the reMarkable to sign the PDF.

    • Export the now-signed PDF back to the computer, or if the tablet is linked to the reMarakble cloud, email copies of the now-signed PDF to yourself and the client.

      Ok. So you suggest not to order the Type Folio?

      My main concern also is the extra weight and thickness. I guess the combination with Type is much thicker than normal Folio only.

      It’s only 40 euro’s extra for the keyboard but I’m in great doubt.

        I don’t own one, and from what I’ve seen of how the rM2’s “text” tool works, and from other peoples’ comments here, I’m not sure that I would use it if I had it.
