Sharing Content (Pencasting)

Pencasting is the process of sharing your notes and Paper Replay™ sessions with
others. When you pencast, you share your notes as PDFs and Paper Replay sessions

as flash movies or as PDF files. You can decide if you want to share the files with

everyone, or with only specified recipients. You can also decide to share the content

on Facebook™ or other social networks. For more information about pencasting, see
the Pulse™ Smartpen User Manual.
