A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for creating a smart pen application, the instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform steps including:

• receiving a computer-readable representation of printable content;
• determining that a portion of the computer-readable representation of the printable content is incompatible with a dot pattern on a writing surface, wherein the portion of the computer-readable representation of the printable content will interfere with a smart pen detecting the dot pattern on the writing surface when the portion of the computer-readable representation is printed to the writing surface having the dot pattern;
• responsive to determining that the portion of the computer-readable representation of the printable content is incompatible with the dot pattern on the writing surface, modifying the portion of the computer-readable representation so that it does not interfere with detection of the dot pattern by the smart pen when the portion of the computer-readable representation is printed to the writing surface.
