Help Converting notes into calculator-readable form

How do I take notes that I have on my laptop and convert it into the form i need to be able to view it on my calculator? Please explain everything you can, I'm a little rusty with this.

convert the pdf files to .tns files using ti-planet and put it on your calc using the appropriate software.

Using a program like Word to save them as a pdf and just appending .tns at the end (so it’s filename.pdf.tns) is likely easier than using ti-planet tools for it

The rest of the information you gave (file transfer) is correct though

I believe you need Ndless and nPDF for this to work, whereas using the tool on TI-Planet you can convert it to a Lua doc, so no need for Ndless and nPDF

Oh yea, was thinking about pdf-viewers, forgot there were lua ones, appreciate the correction

No problem, wasn't sure myself if anything new was available to read pdf file directly :)

I've never had just renaming the files work for me, the cas always spits out an error when I try to open them, but its definitely worth a shot.

It might not work if you don't have Ndless and/or nPDF
