Sometimes our members have some problems with downloading and opening our PDF files. While the PDF format is universally used, there are some points you might need to get the full benefit of this program.

1. Downloading from our library and bonuses of ebooks that are in the PDF format

Make sure you save the files to your hard drive in a place you can find them before you do *anything* else.

2. Opening the ebook files

Once you have downloaded the ebooks to your computer's hard drive (in whatever folder you saved it in) then simply double click the file and it should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

If it does not open automatically in Adobe Acrobat Reader -- then open Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking "Start" >> "Programs" >> "Adobe Acrobat" >> "Acrobat Reader"

Once you open the Adobe Acrobat Reader program click "File" >> "Open" >> then go to the folder you saved the files in and open the file.

This should open the ebook file in your Adobe Acrobat Reader.

3. Downloading & Using Adobe Acrobat Reader

If you need Adobe Acrobat Reader (or if you need to upgrade) you can download the FREE Reader software / upgrade by going to

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html

You can get the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader FREE

Adobe Acrobat Reader comes with an extensive "Help" file ? if you have questions about how to operate the program ? please open the Adobe Acrobat Reader program, click "Help" and make the appropriate selection.

4. Printing our ebooks

Open Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking "Start" >> "Programs" >> "Adobe Acrobat" >> "Acrobat Reader"

Once you open the Adobe Acrobat Reader program click "File" >> "Open" >> then (if you save the file to your desktop) go to where you saved the file and click on the file.

Then click "File" >> "Print"

5. I downloaded a copy of an ebook but now I can't find it on my computer - what do I do?

When you originally downloaded the files you should have saved the ebook files to a specific folder in your computer (i.e., My Downloads).

If you did not, and if you cannot find them, the easiest thing to do is a search for them.

Click the Windows "Start" button >> then click "Search" >> then click "For Files or Folders".

Where it says "Search for files or folders named:" type in the name of the file you?re searching for.

Make sure it says "Look in: 'Local Hard Drives'" on the pull down menu right below.

Click "Search Now"

Double click the file in the search results and the file should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

If it does not open automatically -- make a note of where the file is located -- then follow the instructions in #2 above.

6. The links in the ebook won't work.

If you click the "web" links in the ebooks (blue underlined links) and they don't take you to a web page -- Make sure your computer is *online and connected to the web*.

If you get an error that says something to the effect that no web browser is configured to work with Adobe Acrobat Reader then try this:

In Adobe Acrobat Reader go to "File" then "Preferences" then "Web Link" and choose your browser in the WWW Browser Application.

You will need to find the .exe file for the browser by clicking the "browse" button.

Your browser .exe file (usually either NetScape or Internet Explorer) can sometimes be found in your "Program Files" folder.

Any more tech support on this issue should come from Adobe or your computer vendor, (or AOL if you use them) since we cannot be sure where to tell you to look on your hard drive for your browser's .exe file.

This should solve the problem of being able to click directly on the links and have them take you to the web.

7. I can't print the book / it stops printing at a certain page.

Two things we can offer with what is most likely your computer acting up rather than the ebook file.

1. Try restarting your computer and printer.

If that doesn't work....

2. When you have the ebook open in Acrobat -- go to File, Click Print, then down in the middle where it says "Print Range" fill in Pages from with about 20 or 30 pages (example 45-75).

Try printing the book out chapter by chapter.
