How can I open the Print Yourself PDFs?
To open and view the PDF files, you need the free Acrobat Reader. From here you can conveniently print the PDF files.
We do not recommend opening the PDF files directly in the browser and printing them from there, as the PDF content often appears incomplete or reduced in size.
If you cannot open the file despite having Acrobat Reader installed, or if you receive an error message, it is usually because the file was not downloaded completely. In this case, please proceed as follows:
1. Delete the file from your computer and download it again.
2. Wait until the file has completely downloaded before opening the file. Depending on the file size and your internet connection, the download may take a few minutes.
