I called tech support and they said there currently no default way to do this. Hopefully this is something that can be created. Interwrite software has this feature as does Polyvision's Webster.
Issue 1:
I give classroom notes by writing over pdf files filling in blanks and annotating diagrams. When working with PDF's, they essentially are the background, is there a way that when working in Inspire, you can capture the background and penstrokes automatically when the first pen stroke is created. Basicly, as the first mark is made, the program automatically snapshots the background (pdf) as well as the penstroke. THis would allow all notes/marks to be safed and reviewed with the proper background (pdf).
Currently, I have to capture each page individually, before I teach class. This is just extra steps. One would need to capture page, to new page, then resize since the capture is always a little smaller than window. It takes time, especially if I am doing many pages of notes and daily. I basicly requires me to make captures or scans I already created, which is doing essentially the same thing twice - making 2 digital copies of the pages.
In conclusion, can there be a setting which would allow auto caputure, as new page, of page (pdf, webpage, etc asbackground) along with the annotations placed over it, and allow this to be scrolled back to to review later, where the annotations are still visible over the background, without having to pre-caputer each and every page.
Issue 2:
Can the Desktop always be floating on top of page. Currently, when I navigate to a new page (pdf, webpage, etc) the desktop always hides. Can there be a setting to keep it "always on top" no matter what program windows you bring up. And then allow the autocaptuer (Issue 1 above) to that one can continuously work between programs.
