software

what software do I need?

our party printables are in PDF format and you need Adobe Reader to view, edit and print them.  Adobe Reader is usually loaded on a lot of computers, but make sure that you are using the most up-to-date version.  Adobe Reader is FREE and you can download it here. 

when you download your file, save it on your computer.  open Adobe Reader and then open your file using the file>open command

do your party printables work on an ipad, ipod, iphone or android mobile devices?

no- they can't be edited on mobile devices.  they need to be edited on a computer. 

can I edit them on a MAC?

as long as you open files in Adobe Reader on your MAC.  you should launch Adobe Reader then open the file from the file>open command.  if you use the default viewer, you will not be able to edit your file and it may corrupt it.

 

personalising

how can I personalise the party printables using my own text?

when you receive your file, you will be able to put in your own details.  we have put in some sample text which you can select and type over. 

can I personalise everything in the party printables?

the background graphics can’t be changed.  the location of the text also can’t be modified. 

where can I type in my details?

If you can’t see the fields you can type in, select ‘highlight fields’ (ctrl h on a pc), on the top right of your Adobe Reader screen.  the areas you can personalise will be highlighted.  for newer versions of Adobe Reader, the field highlighting is on by default

do I need any special fonts?

the fonts are embedded in the party printables.  however you can change the font if you want to for most of our printables.

the wording does not fit into your text areas- what can I do?

we have given enough space to include text for your details.  however you can make your text size smaller if you want to add more text in the text boxes.  sometimes we put in extra blank lines to ‘space’ our sample text and you can take these out by using the backspace or delete keys

can I add photos?

you can add photos to the new baby announcements and some of our other printables.

what it I don’t want to print off all the pages?

you can print the pages you want by scrolling to the page you want.  then select ‘CURRENT PAGE’ from the print range options in the print menu options box.

what if I want to save my changes?

that’s ok- you can save your changes and come back to your party printable later

 

printing

what size paper do I have to print on?

all of our party printables can be printed on A4 or on US letter paper (size 8.5” x 11”).  set the scale to ACTUAL SIZE when you have selected your printer. 

what kind of paper do I need?

you can print on any paper suitable for your printer.  for our invitations we recommend 160gsm paper or heavier however and your cards will look great!  for luxury cards try textured cards such as linen effect or watercolour cards, both available on the web or at good craft suppliers.  always check that these are compatible with your printer.

we do not recommend that you use coloured paper or paper darker than ‘antique white’. 

is there a limited number of prints?

not at all- print as many as you want as long as it is for your own personal use only.  you can save your file and come back to it again and again.
