Digitize

Class Note is a productivity-focused utility designed to bridge the gap between physical notes and digital PDF management. Unlike standard scanners, it focuses heavily on document assembly, allowing users to either build new documents from scratch or update existing ones.

Core Functionality

1.

Append to Existing PDFs: A standout feature that solves a common pain point. Users can select a PDF already on their device and seamlessly insert new photos (from the gallery or camera) at the end of the document.

2.

Create New PDFs: A streamlined workflow to convert a batch of images into a single, professional-grade PDF file.

3.

Integrated Camera: Includes a custom camera interface (CameraActivity) optimized for capturing documents quickly.

Key Technical Features

•

Intelligent Processing Modes: The app offers three distinct ways to handle image layouts:

◦

Smart Mode: Automatically rotates and scales images to A4 size, matching the page orientation to the image.

◦

Fit to Page: Forces all images to fit perfectly on a Portrait A4 page.

◦

As-Is: Preserves the original image dimensions and rotation without any scaling.

•

Privacy-First (Local Processing): As highlighted in your Terms and Conditions, the app processes all files locally on the device. It does not upload documents to a cloud, making it ideal for sensitive student or professional notes.

•

Guided User Interface: The UI uses dynamic "blinking" animations (startBlink) to guide users through the workflow—from selecting images to choosing a mode and finally generating the PDF.

•

Modern Tech Stack: Built using Kotlin, ViewBinding, and Coroutines for smooth background processing, utilizing the PdfBox-Android library for robust PDF manipulation.

Target Audience

Primarily designed for students and professionals who need to digitize handwritten notes, receipts, or handouts and keep their digital filing system organized by updating existing documents rather than creating scattered new files.
