Convert FLIPCHART to PDF

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert FLIPCHART to PDF?
Yes - FLIPCHART converts to PDF.

ActivInspire (free from Promethean, registration required) is the only tool that reliably reads .flipchart files; use File > Export > PDF or print to Microsoft Print to PDF on Windows. Each flipchart page becomes one PDF page, but all interactive elements and embedded video are lost.

Also to PDF: LTX · TEX · DWG

Why convert FLIPCHART to PDF?

A .flipchart is a proprietary ZIP-based lesson package for Promethean ActivInspire interactive whiteboards. Converting to PDF produces a static document that anyone can view or print on any device without ActivInspire - the practical way to share lesson content with people who do not have a Promethean board.

Quality & what to watch

  • Interactivity is lost - drag-and-drop activities, voting tools, and hyperlinks do not carry into the PDF; the result is a static document.
  • Embedded video objects appear as blank or placeholder in the PDF; note this before converting if video content matters.
  • Older Promethean files with the .flp extension (ActivStudio/ActivPrimary) can also be imported into ActivInspire and exported to PDF using the same steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is there any online converter for `.flipchart` to PDF?
No - the .flipchart format is proprietary and no third-party tool reads it reliably; ActivInspire is the only practical option.
Is ActivInspire free?
Yes - ActivInspire is a free download from prometheanworld.com, though registration is required.
What happens to interactive elements in the PDF?
They are lost - the PDF contains only static images of each page; interactive objects exist only in the original .flipchart file.
