Convert FLIPCHART to PDF

Understanding flipchart and pdf file formats

Flipchart files (with the .flipchart extension) are interactive lesson files created by Promethean's ActivInspire software, widely used in educational environments for digital whiteboards. These files can contain text, images, annotations, and multimedia elements for classroom presentations.

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a universal file format developed by Adobe, designed to present documents consistently across devices and platforms. PDFs are ideal for sharing, printing, and archiving content while preserving layout and formatting.
