Questions

How do I download my files?

On Etsy.com in a web browser (computer, phone or tablet), go to You > Purchases and click Download Files. The Etsy app can't download files.

Which file should I print?

US Letter for the US and Canada, A4 for most other countries. Print at 100% or Actual Size, with Fit to Page turned off. Use the Low-Ink version to save ink.

Can I use it on a tablet?

Yes. Import the PDF into Goodnotes, Notability, Xodo, or any app that lets you write on PDFs. Every kit includes a Goodnotes edition with clickable tabs made for tablets.

Can I get a refund?

Digital downloads can't be returned once the files are delivered. If a file won't open or prints wrong, message me and I'll fix it.

Can I share or sell the files?

Personal use only. Reprint pages as often as you want for your own practice, but please don't share, resell, or post the files.

The links don't work in Goodnotes.

Open the Goodnotes edition (its file name ends in Digital-Goodnotes). Tap a tab or page name with your finger. If a tap draws a line, touch and hold the link and choose Open Link, or switch to Read Only. On Android, Windows and the web, switch to Read Only first. Still stuck? Message me on Etsy.
