In 2024, I used my tool, Page-o-Mat, to make a PDF journal for my Smartnote. It worked fine, but there was no way to insert pages or add more internal (or external) linking to a PDF on Smartnote.

I think a better way to use the Smartnote is to use the native .note format, though, not a PDF. This format supports template pages, and luckily, you can put the Smartnote template pages in a PDF, so it’s possible to do that with Page-o-Mat. This lets me use all of the features of the Smartnote, but still have pages that have spaces to fill in.

I have to think through what I want in my template pages, but I’ll share the configs and PDFs when I make them. If you already have ideas, go check out Page-o-Mat on GitHub.
