Saving files

Depending on how you or the system administrator configured SMART Meeting Pro PE software (see Changing Whiteboard mode settings), the software saves files in one of the following formats by default:

  • .fcw

  • .notebook

  • .pdf

  • .ppt

  • .pptx

However, you can choose to save your files in any of the above formats as well as in image formats (.jpg, .bmp, .png and .gif).

Notes 

  • SMART Meeting Pro 4.0 and later software and SMART Meeting Pro PE software can open .fcw files.

  • If you are using SMART Meeting Pro PE software in Unbound Workspace and save your file in .pdf, .ppt, or .pptx format, the software scales the contents of Whiteboard pages to fit within the boundaries of PDF pages or PowerPoint slides.

  • You can save files in .notebook format only if you are using SMART Meeting Pro PE software in Classic Workspace.
