Linux tools for aiptek mynote

I bought an Apitek MyNote tablet to write notes on the paper and then retrive the corresponding digital copy.
I found many useful info regarding the tablet and its usage on Linux on the blog
http://eddie.niese.net/20071129/new-digital-notepad-gadget/

I used the code found on the blog to start a project of tools for the tablet.
You will find the project at http://code.google.com/p/aipteknotetools/

The current features:
  1. Simply use the Jorik code to batch processing a set of TOP files or a set of paths

Planned features:

  1. Add the option to remove the TOP files after the import
  2. Merge PDF document with the notes. This allows to print a document, write on the document with the tablet, import the TOP files and then obtain a new PDF with the notes on an overlay
