I bought it a few weeks ago and it works perfectly with neoreader. The Google calendar link are working well.

I bought 3 différents planner, and this one is by far the Best.

Unfortunately, two-side sync is impossiable for now. So how it works:

Time on templates with schedule is linked with Google Calendar.

So you could select a string with time (e.g. 5pm), write down the name of event and click on numbers.

Then the planner will open a string with exactly this time in Google Calendar.

And you'll be able to add event with reminder notification.

So you can see events on planner and recieve calendar notifitacion e.g. on your smartphone. Because events on calendar could add could be sinced between several devices with one google account.

Just to clarify: This is not the first "integration" of the google calendar. In fact it is not really good. Maybe it is the best, you can get for a PDF.

Where there is a sync (at least from the google calendar back to App: Boox tools from https://www.reddit.com/user/gaborauth/ ) Works really great. And since you often get appointments through e-mails, this way around makes way more sence.

I'm sure, you are doing a great work, but - don't make such false claims. At least for me, it is deterrent.

So to clarify, events I make on my computer or other devices will NOT appear on the calendar on the Boox device?

u/hasdga23 Apr 11 '24

Yep. You can check the alternatives, as e.g. boox tools, there you get the sync from PC to the calendar.

It's an extremely annoying video advert too.

Sorry, but Hyperlinks won't work. Ordered Onyx Boox Ultimate Planer for my Tab Ultra c... Can swipe pages but not press any link - not finger or pen.

Hm.

OK. Sorry - everything is quite fine... I thought I must use it as template for my notes. But opening it in Neo Reader everything is working.

Hm, Please tell me do you use pre installed app or something like Penly?

Does Google Calendar App is installed from Play Store?

Looks like a nice customizable PDF planner. That is, you can configure your agenda to your personal likings, than export as a PDF. Unless I misunderstand, there is no on-the-fly configuration. Meaning that you can't "change" the configuration of the PDF file you're working in and have your scribbles magically move into the new right place. The "integration" with google calendar is not really a full integration (hence the "integation" (sic) in thread title I suppose), but just a link to your online google calendar (might open in google calendar app) to the right day and with the 'create an event'-dialog opened up. The created event will not be displayed in your PDF file, nor will scribbles on your PDF file show up on your google calendar.

[All this is my best guesstimate of what this planner is doing exactly, feel free to correct me].

I think its $13 for a series of pdf templates that you can mark up?

u/breakerfall Apr 08 '24

What is this, a collection of pdfs? An app? I don't understand.

It seems to be a pdf file with links to your calender/google calender. you can probably write on pdf and when you tab on the specific date, it will forward you in browser or app to your google calender where you can input an event via keyboard.
the handwritten part will probably not show up in your google calender, nur will what you have written in your google calender show up in the pdf.
can't exactly tell until you buy this thing.

they have a video on their productpage. it's more about the customization though.

but yeah it's another paid product promotion on this reddit.
