Debbie Martin replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"Thanks Randy, yes I am using a Windows PC...always something new to learn!"
Randy Tran replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"Hi Debbie,
By any chance are you using a Windows based PC? The only time a PDF can be dragged into a Notebook file and directly editable is if you do this on the Mac version of the software. When you try this on a Windows based…"
Debbie Martin replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"Harvey, when I tried dragging a PDF from my desktop onto the Notebook page it comes on as an attachment (paperclip) and when I click on it it opens the document in Adobe...am I doing something wrong?"
Harvey Almarode replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"I have not had a problem with pdf files. I drag them from the desktop to the notebook page and I am able to mark with pens and creative pens, place objects on top and erase or delete objects. Since it is a pdf file I cannot edit the file…"
Obe Hostetter replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"One way to get the pdf file into Notebook would be to use the Notebook camera to take pictures of it until you have it into Notebook. Another way would be to find a MAC computer with Notebook and drag or insert the pdf into Notebook."
Rebecca Demski replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"I'll admit I should already know this, but what does the transparent background button look like?
Thanks for your time and help."
Liz Grant replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"Have you tried to open the pdf in acrobat reader and then open notebook and go to a blank page. Click on the transparent background button and you will be able to use all of your tools in Notebook in adobe acrobat."
Rebecca Demski replied to Rebecca Demski's discussion PDF and Notebook in the group SMARTBoards in the Middle School"Thank you so much! I am going to try it in the morning at school. I tried it from home, and it keeps giving me an error message and saying Notebook is shutting down. However, I have had compatibility issues with the old laptop I…"

PDF and Notebook
The choir teacher wanted to be able to use the SMART tools and mark on a PDF file. It isn't working, so then she wanted to import a PDF file into notebook, so they could mark on the sheet music. That isn't working. I told her I would post a question to the forum. Has anyone had success using floating tools with a PDF file? If so, what tips/suggestions, do you have? Secondly, is there a way to import PDF files into notebook. The version I am using at home doesn't seem to have that…See More
Rebecca Demski replied to John Dolleslager's discussion Response for PPT in the group Senteo or SMART Response Student Clickers"That is extremely helpful information because I had problems when I have tried that feature in the past."
Rebecca Demski replied to Matt Granger's discussion Help this Member"I would choose the clickers because I use them every single day. I love my document camera, but the clickers have changed my instruction. I can immediately re-teach and scaffold instruction if I see they are struggling.
Your teachers have to be…"
Rebecca Demski replied to Paul Holwegner's discussion New Smart Response in the group Senteo Interactive Response System"What have been the results with Smart Response over the summer? I'm back to school next week and wondered whether most are going to keep using 2.0 or upgrade to Smart Response.
Thanks so much!"
