Importing content using SMART Notebook Document Writer

When you install SMART Notebook software on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer, you also install SMART Notebook Document Writer. SMART Notebook Document Writer works like any other printer driver, except it captures output in a .notebook file, instead of printing it on paper.

Note 

If you install SMART Notebook software on a Windows XP computer, you can import content using SMART Notebook Print Capture (see Importing content using SMART Notebook Print Capture).

To use SMART Notebook Document Writer

  1. In the source file you want to export to a .notebook file, select File > Print.

    The Print dialog box appears.

  2. Select SMART Notebook Document Writer in the list of printers.

  3. Optionally, change the page orientation (see To change the page orientation).

  4. Specify a page range, and then press OK or Print.

    A dialog box appears.

  5. Select SMART Notebook pages with images to import the content of the file as pictures.

    OR

    Select SMART Notebook page with editable objects to import the content of the file as editable objects.

    Note 

    If you choose to import the content as editable objects, some objects may not display correctly. You can import the content as pictures.

  6. Press OK.

    A new .notebook file opens. Each page of the source file appears on a separate page.

To change the page orientation

  1. Press Properties or Preferences.

    The Printing Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Select Landscape or Portrait in the Orientation drop-down list.

  3. Press OK.
