Using Your First Livescribe Connect Shortcut

Use a Livescribe Connect shortcut on your smartpen to access a Connector. For instance, you can access the Computer Connector by using its shortcut Computer.

  1. Capture notes and audio on a notebook page.
  2. Draw Launch Line: Write a horizontal line and—without lifting your smartpen—retrace your line in the opposite direction. A Launch Line is a line drawn there and back again, about the length of the display on your smartpen.
  3. With 8 seconds, write the word Computer directly above the line. For more information see Drawing a Launch Line.


  4. When the smartpen display prompts you to select pages, tap on a notebook page that you want to send to your computer. Tap on each additional page to select it. When you reach the final page you want to send, double-tap on it.
  5. Connect (dock) your smartpen to your computer. Livescribe Connect transfers the notes and audio to your computer.
  6. When the transfer finishes, look on your computer’s desktop for a Pencast PDF of the pages you selected.

    This example assumes the default settings for Livescribe Connect and the Computer Connector. For example, it uses the default folder location for the Computer Connector and the default Pencast PDF format. If you changed the folder location, look for your uploaded files in the new folder.

  7. Open the Pencast PDF using Acrobat Reader, and play the audio in the file by clicking on the green ink or using the audio control bar.

Congratulations! You just created your first Pencast PDF using Livescribe Connect!
