opening a .bak / exporting Papyrus data

[79wjd]

I need to save my notes that I have from papyrus, unfortunately there is no official way to export everything at once -- I'd have to open each page manually and export it (and I'd rather not do that since I have over 150 pages I'd need to export).

 

I can however create a backup of my Papyrus notebooks as a .bak file. So I was wondering if there's anyway I can open that file up and convert it's contents to a pdf (or something similar). Or alternatively, if anyone knows of a way to export an entire Papyrus library, that works too.

AFAICT you need to open the .bak with the same exact software that created it or it'll corrupt. They're basically created by making a copy of a file like my_textfile.txt and then throwing the original extension on the filename side and adding the .bak extension like my_textfile.txt.bak. Or my_picturefile.jpg would turn into my_picturefile.jpg.bak and so on. The naming scheme varies but the implication is the same: rename the latter to the original and you have your file back but edit it in the wrong program and the file goes poof.

So I really have to sit here and go through 150+ pages and manually export them all. Wonderful.

The software is unfamiliar to me so I can't actually help. Maybe they have a support community of their own?

I looked and there was a post recommending the feature be added back in August, but seeing as it hasn't been added... there's probably no way.

Aw man, that bites. And the fact that the feature might get added right as you finish, bites even more. But maybe you could at least use a keyboard/mouse macro to do the repetitive stuff.
