How to includepdf files to SmartNotebook

I have landscape pdf files for teaching.  Here is steps to include the pdf file into SmartNotbook software.

1. Open a pdf file (landscape)
2. Rotate all the pages 180 degrees, so upside down.
3. Print the pdf to "SmartNotebook Document Writer" printer driver.
4. Once the pdf file is converted, it will be automatically loaded to SmartNotebook software in a correct way. Otherwise you have to rotate each page after loading.

The simplest way to print text and pdf files through ssh

If you want to print "b.pdf" to a remote Linux box connected to a printer, then

$ cat  b.pdf   |   ssh username@myserver.domain.com "lp -"

A script can be easier to use

#!/bin/bash
cat $1 |  ssh username@myserver.domain.com "lp -"

Here is a better guide:  http://docs.ocf.berkeley.edu/wiki/How_to_print_through_SSH
