For Windows:

Downloading

While most web browsers allow for viewing PDFs (and may even allow for entering text into form fields), it is recommended to download a copy of the file to your device so you can save changes and access the updated document later.

To download & save PDF files:

  1. Click/tap the download link.

    This could be in an email or anywhere throughout the Biddy Tarot website, Community, or course programs. Once clicked to download, a new tab or browser usually opens with the PDF in view.

  2. Select to Download or Save the file.

    Depending on your web browser, steps to download or save may vary:
    -- There may be a downward-facing arrow toward the top right corner of the window,
    -- you may need to hover your cursor at the bottom center of the window to see more options, 
    -- or you may need to use the File -> Save or File -> Print -> As PDF menu features.

    NOTE: You may be prompted to choose where on your device you’d like the file to be saved. Make note of this location to access later.

  3. Confirm the PDF file downloaded successfully.

    Go to the location on your device designated for downloads or the specific location you chose in Step 2. The PDF file in question should be there. If it’s not, complete Steps 1 and 2 to try again.

Opening, Editing, Saving

After successfully downloading a copy of the PDF file and saving it to your device, you can open, edit, and save your changes as much as needed, simply by accessing the file from and saving to the same location every time.

To open, edit, & save PDF files:

  1. Locate the saved PDF file on your device.

    Go to the location on your device where you had previously saved the downloaded PDF file.

  2. Double-click or tap the PDF file to open.

    The PDF file will open in whatever application is set as the default for PDFs in your software’s system settings. The default PDF software for Mac OS, for example, is its native Preview application. Microsoft Windows users may be required to download and install additional software, depending on the version and compatibility of the Windows environment. Windows and Mac users may download and install the free Adobe Reader software from Adobe.com. Mobile device users may need to contact their device manufacturer for more information.

  3. View or make changes as needed and save when done.

    If you just need to view the PDF file, you can close and return to it anytime. If you made changes to any form fields, be sure to File -> Save your changes before closing. Once your changes have been saved, you can close and return to pick up where you left off.
