About SMARTNotebook software,
SMARTProductDrivers and SMART Tools
SMARTNotebook software, SMARTProductDrivers and SMART Tools are programs that you can
use with your interactive product.
About SMARTNotebook software
Use SMARTNotebook software to create lessons or presentations. Each .notebook file contains a
series of pages, and each page has its own objects, properties and settings. You can add freehand
objects, geometric shapes, straight lines, text, pictures, Adobe®Flash® Player compatible content
and tables to a page. You can manipulate and edit these objects at any time.
You can save your files in the .notebook format, which you can open in any Windows®, Mac or
Linux® computer running SMARTNotebook software. You can also export your files to a variety of
formats.
The Page Sorter displays thumbnails of all of the pages in the current file. The software automatically
updates these thumbnails when you change the contents of the pages.
Copy clip art, backgrounds, multimedia content and .notebook files and pages to your page from the
Gallery. The Gallery also provides access to the following resources:
l Gallery Essentials – a collection of thousands of subject-specific images and multimedia
content
l Lesson Activity Toolkit – a collection of customizable tools and templates that you can use to
create professional-looking and interactive lessons
l Online Resources – online content for educators who use SMART products, including lesson
activities, educational software and advice for using your product
You can attach a copy of a file, a shortcut to a file or a link to a web page. This enables you to quickly
find and open files and web pages when you present your file.
You can install SMARTNotebook Tools, which add special features to the software. These tools
include the following:
l SMARTDocumentCamera™
l SMARTResponse™ assessment software

About SMARTProductDrivers
Your interactive product detects contact with its screen and sends each contact point, along with Pen
tool information, to the connected computer. SMARTProductDrivers translates the information into
mouse clicks and digital ink. SMARTProductDrivers enables you to perform normal computer
operations by pressing the screen with your finger (on interactive whiteboards) or a tethered pen (on
interactive pen displays).
You can also write or draw on the screen in digital ink using a pen tray pen (on interactive
whiteboards) or tethered pen (on interactive pen displays), and then save or erase your notes.
About SMART Tools
Draw attention to specific parts of a page using SMART Tools, such as the Screen Shade, Spotlight,
Magnifier and Pointer.
Getting started with SMARTNotebook software
You can start SMARTNotebook software by pressing Notebook in the Dock.
N N O T E
If your computer’s display refresh rate is less than 60 Hz, a warning message appears when you
first open SMARTNotebook software. You can change the display refresh rate by opening System
Preferences > Displays in MacOSX operating system software.
When you start SMARTNotebook software the first time, a tutorial file opens automatically. You can
read the contents of this file to learn more about the software and the new features in the latest
release. When you start the software subsequent times, a new, blank file opens automatically. You
can create another file (see Creating files on page 9) or open a file (see Opening files on page 9) at any
time.
The SMARTNotebook software window consists of the following sections:
l Toolbar
l Tabs (Page Sorter, Gallery, Attachments and Properties)
l Page area
Menu
The menu contains all the commands you can use to manipulate files and objects in
SMARTNotebook software.

In SMARTNotebook software, you can create or open SMARTNotebook software (.notebook) files.
After creating or opening a .notebook file, you can save it, print it, export it to other formats and
complete other common tasks. In addition, you can work with the pages within the .notebook file.
Creating files
When you start SMARTNotebook software for the first time, a tutorial file opens automatically. When
you start the software subsequent times, a new .notebook file opens automatically. However, you
can create a new file at any time.
g To create a file
1. Select File > New.
If you’re working on a file with unsaved changes, a dialog box appears and prompts you to save
the current file.
2. Press Yes to save your changes, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Opening files
With SMARTNotebook software 10, you can open:
l .notebook files (the default file format for SMARTNotebook software 9.5, 9.7 and 10)
l .xbk files (the default file format for SMARTNotebook software 8, 9.0 and 9.1)

2. Browse to and select the file you want to open.
3. Press Open.
T T I P
You can open a recently opened document by selecting the File menu, and then selecting the

Saving files
By default, SMARTNotebook software saves your files in .notebook format. Anyone with
SMARTNotebook software 9.5 or later for Windows operating systems, MacOSX operating
system software or Linux operating systems installed on his or her computer can open a .notebook
file.
N N O T E
The default file format for SMARTNotebook software 10 is .notebook, but the default file format for
versions 8, 9.0 and 9.1 is .xbk. If you want to open your file in SMARTNotebook software 8, 9.0 or
9.1, save your file with the .xbk extension. However, the .xbk format doesn’t support some of the
objects and properties available in SMARTNotebook software 10. If you save your file in the .xbk
format, SMARTNotebook software doesn’t save the objects or properties in your file that the .xbk
format doesn’t support. Also, if you create text in SMARTNotebook software 10 and save your file
in .xbk format, you’re unable to edit the text in SMARTNotebook software 8, 9.0 or 9.1.

Creating and working with files
Reducing file sizes
If your .notebook files contain large pictures (pictures over 1 MB in file size), your files could open and
run slowly. You can reduce the pictures’ file size without noticeably reducing their quality. As a result,
your .notebook files’ overall file sizes will be smaller and the files will open and run more quickly.
g To reduce the size of a large picture when inserting it in a file
1. Insert the picture as described in Inserting pictures on page 82.
After you press Open, the Image Optimization dialog box appears.
2. Press Optimize to reduce the picture’s file size.
OR
Press Keep Resolution to not reduce the picture’s file size.
N N O T E
When you insert a BMP file, SMARTNotebook software internally converts the file to PNG
format. This conversion reduces the size of the file. As a result, you might not need to export
an optimized version of the .notebook file (see To export an optimized file on the next page)
even if the BMP file is over 1 MB in size.
T T I P
If you want to use the same option when inserting large pictures in the future, select the
Always use this option check box.
Alternatively, you can set your preference for inserting large pictures in the Preferences
dialog box by following the procedure below.
g To reduce the size of a large picture after inserting it in a file
1. Select the picture.
2. Press the picture’s menu arrow, and then select Image Optimization.
The Image Optimization dialog box appears.
3. Click Optimize.
g To set your preference for inserting large pictures
1. Select Notebook > Preferences.
The SMARTNotebook Preferences dialog box appears.

2. Select Ask every time I insert a large image to have the option of reducing or not reducing
large pictures’ file sizes when you insert them.
OR
Select Never change the resolution of inserted images to never reduce large pictures’ file
sizes when you insert them.
OR
Select Always change image resolution to optimized file size to always reduce large
pictures’ file sizes when you insert them.
3. Press OK.
g To export an optimized file
1. Select File > Export Optimized File.
N N O T E
This menu option is available only if the file contains one or more large pictures.
A dialog box appears.
