Sending an Entire Notebook from Your Smartpen

You can send an entire notebook to your computer from your smartpen.

Livescribe Connect sends the notebook as a Pencast PDF file, using the Computer Connector. As with all Pencast PDFs sent to your computer, the Pencast PDF file will be updated each time you dock your smartpen. Such updating is similar to the way that Livescribe Desktop updates your electronic notebooks when you dock your smartpen.

  1. Launch the Livescribe Connect smartpen app using the Connect shortcut or a Nav Plus.
  2. On the Send menu, tap down until you see Send Entire Notebook. See Navigating Submenus with Tap Around.
  3. Tap right. Share Notebook via shows on the smartpen display.
  4. Tap down until you see the Livescribe Connect shortcut you want. Choices are:
    • Computer
    • Me
    • PDF
    Note: The Me shortcut must use the Computer Connector. You cannot send an entire notebook from the smartpen using other Connectors.
  5. Tap on any page in the notebook you want to send.
  6. Connect (dock) your smartpen to your computer.

    Livescribe Connect sends your entire notebook as a Pencast PDF to your computer. Every time you dock your smartpen, the notebook’s new content is sent to the same file in the folder. The file on your computer contains notes and audio from the paper notebook, as of the last time you docked your smartpen.

For automatic updating to occur, the Pencast PDF file on your computer must remain unchanged. Renaming, moving, or in any way modifying the file on your computer breaks the updating link.

Tip: If you decide that you do not want the Pencast PDF file to update, rename it.

Pencast PDF Files and Notebook Archiving

If you send a notebook using the Send Entire Notebook feature and later archive the notebook in Livescribe Desktop, rename the Pencast PDF in your computer folder. Otherwise, you may lose information. If you start writing in a new notebook of the same type, Livescribe Connect will overwrite the old Pencast PDF file with notes and audio from the new notebook—unless you change the name of the old file.
