Download Troubleshooting

Zip files enable one to compress a lot of files into single files to make it easier for people to send or in this case, download individual files.

This product requires a program to extract ZIP files, such as WinZip or 7Zip, and a program to open PDF or PNG files (such as Adobe Acrobat). The capability to extract ZIP files and open PDF files is built into most current operating systems. If you don’t believe you have this capability, you can download WinZip or 7Zip online.

Printing guidelines are available here.

STEP FIVE:

Open the folder where you saved the ZIP file. Then click on “Extract all” to gain access to the files (see example below). For Mac users, you simply need to double-click on the folder that is zipped, and it will automatically unzip it and make a new folder available to you.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

• Does your computer have WinZip, 7Zip, or another program to extract ZIP files?
• Are you on mobile or an iPad? If so, try a desktop first to unzip files.
• Can you try a different computer?
• Is there someone around who you can ask for help?
• Did you take note of which folder you saved the ZIP file into?
• Are you out of disk space on your computer or have a corrupt hard drive?
• Make sure Adobe Acrobat is updated. You may want to remove the application and reload it.
• Helpful hint: If you want to view on an iPad or mobile later, you can save the files on a shared drive like Google docs, Dropbox, etc and then view from your mobile (rather than storing large files on your mobile device)
• Have you tried downloading more than 10 times? If so, you’ll need to contact us because you have reached your max amounts of downloads and will need to be reset.

What if my file doesn’t have any images?

First, make sure that you have updated your Abode Acrobat with the latest software update.

Also, make sure that you are downloading and saving the files to your hard drive.

If you are still having problems, then trying configuring the Abode Reader to show all images by doing to the “Edit” menu and selecting “Preferences” from the drop-down menu. Select the “Page Display” heading on the left side of the window, place a check in the box labeled “Show large images” and click “OK” (see screenshot below).

Q: Every image is coming out with a big black box around the illustration. How do I fix this?

1. Update Your Software: Ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. This helps in properly rendering the PDF files.
2. Update Printer Drivers: Check if your printer drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause printing issues.
3. Print Directly from Adobe Acrobat Reader: Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print from there rather than using a browser window or preview software.
4. Use the “Print as Image” Option: When printing from Adobe Acrobat Reader, select “Print” and then go to “Advanced” options. Check the “Print as Image” box. This can help bypass rendering issues.
