Saving your interactive whiteboard pages in a generic format

As you know, your whiteboard pages are saved as a gwb file which can only be opened on a PC with the whiteboard software on. However, you can export these pages in a variety of ways. The 3 main ways I suggest are:

JPG: Each file is saved as an image file which can be opened on any PC with a photo editor (most PCs these days).

PDF: makes one file which contains all the pages and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat.

HTML: Creates a set of pages containing the images. Will work anywhere but does make a folder full of files which will all need to be uploaded / e-mailed.

To export / save interactive whiteboard pages in different formats:

Load the pages you want to save into a different format.

Click on the page sorter icon

Click on file, export

Choose the type of file and click on save / OK

The exported file will be saved on your drive in the interwrite folder and then in the export folder.
