Importing content using SMART Notebook Print Capture

When you install SMART Notebook software on a computer with Windows XP operating system, you also install SMART Notebook Print Capture. SMART Notebook Print Capture works like any other printer driver, except it captures output in a .notebook file, instead of printing it on paper. Each page of an imported file appears as an object on its own page, with its original formatting and page breaks preserved.

To use SMART Notebook Print Capture

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 Print Capture in the list of printers.

3. Optionally, change the page orientation and graphics resolution (see the following procedure).

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

   If an existing .notebook file isn’t open, a new .notebook file opens. Each page of the source file appears on a separate page.

   OR

   If an existing .notebook file is open, each page of the source file appears in the .notebook file after the current page.

   Note 

   This process can take several minutes.

To change the page orientation and graphics resolution

1. Press the Properties or Preferences button.

   The SMART Notebook Print Capture Properties dialog box appears.

2. Select Portrait or Landscape.

3. Select a default resolution in the Resolution drop-down list.

   OR

   Select CUSTOM Resolution in the Resolution drop-down list, and then type numbers in the Horizontal Resolution and Vertical Resolution boxes.

   Tips 

   • Use the same value in both boxes to prevent image distortion.

   • The higher the resolution, the larger the image.

   • Don’t use the Draft, Low or Medium options because they might not scale the image proportionally.

4. Press OK.
