Technical FAQ

  • How do I make changes in the editable resources?

    Please note that it’s very important to download the resources to your computer.

    Then be sure to open the document in the most up-to-date version of Adobe Reader. Editing isn’t consistent when using other programs, and the editable document might not work correctly if you open it in the web browser or another program.

    To edit resources like our monthly activity calendars, begin by deleting the original text you want to replace.

    You can do this by putting your cursor in the gray/blue editable box, highlighting the text and typing in your replacement text.

    Or you can put the cursor at the end of the text and hit “backspace” to delete the original text. Then type in your preferred replacement text.

    VIDEO TUTORIALS

    For more detailed tips and a step-by-step tutorial watch these two training videos for using editable PDFs. These videos address the most common obstacles and questions.

    Video One: Getting Started

    Video Two: Using the Editable Features

  • Why are my purchases printing with little black boxes on the images?

    Oh no! Nobody wants to waste ink or paper.

    Luckily there is a quick fix for this.

    Typically the black boxes mean it’s time to update your version of Adobe Reader. You can do that for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

    Once you’re sure you have the current version of Adobe Reader be sure you are opening the file in Adobe Reader instead of your web browser or a web preview. 

    Print the file from your computer, rather than a phone or a tablet.

    If you are still having trouble, try these additional trouble shooting tips:

    • When you go to print, choose “Advanced” in the box that pops up.
    • Then click “Print as Image” near the top.

    If you’re printing from a Mac, and the above suggestions don’t work, try this:

    • Find the file.
    • Click and hold.
    • Press Control.
    • Choose Open With Adobe.
  • What if it says I need a password to open or print the PDF files I purchased?

    There is no password needed.

    If you are getting prompted to add a password or unable to print/edit, there are typically two troubleshooting steps that will fix the conflict.

    1) Update your version of Adobe Reader. They make updates regularly. These updates sometimes trigger the password prompt even though one is not required. You can update your version for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

    2) Also be sure you are opening the file in Adobe instead of your default web browser.
