Important Technical Information:

Printing out Tract PDFs

• All tracts are fully illustrated and in one color line art (scanned or computer generated). Screens and grayscales have been kept to a minimum to ensure quality copying.
• Tracts will do a little better if printed out on a laser printer.
• Tracts in Portuguese and French include the A4 format. All others are in the US Letter Format (8.5 X 11”).
• All tracts are presented as PDF files and must be read by Adobe [Acrobat] Reader after being downloaded(if your browser opens the files before you get a chance to download the file, click on the “Save a Copy” disk icon on the top left corner of the top menu bar). If you do not have Adobe Reader software you may download it for free from http://www.adobe.com.
• When printing, “Page Scaling” (“Fit to Page”) should be set to “NONE” or the tract will not print in the correct position.
• These PDF tracts mostly use Times as their typeface because this font is most widely used. However, since PDFs embed fonts, the use of other fonts in the J 3:16 tracts should not be a problem.
• With the new programs used to create the tracts the PDF file sizes have increased. Most are a little over 1 MB.
• After being printed out, copy both sides onto the front and back of the same paper using a [photostatic] copier and fold as illustrated on page one. No staples are needed.
• Suggestions: copy to pastel-colored paper (avoid bright, flourescent colors, as these hurt the eyes and hinder reading). Note: the cover images of each tract which appear on this site show colorful backgrounds only to suggest what tracts might look like in different paper colors.

Printing out Graphics PDFs

• Graphics are in color and must be printed out using an inkjet printer (unless you have access to a color laser printer).
• Graphics for use in Brazil and France include the A4 format. All others are in the US Letter Format (8.5 X 11”).
• All tracts are presented as PDF files and must be read by Adobe [Acrobat] Reader after being downloaded (if your browser opens the files before you get a chance to download the file, click on the “Save a Copy” disk icon on the top left corner of the top menu bar). If you do not have Adobe Reader software you may download it for free from http://www.adobe.com.
• When printing, “Page Scaling” (“Fit to Page”) should be set to “NONE” or the tract will not print in the correct position.
• If you have access to a printer that prints up to 11 X 17” (tabloid), you can print graphics pages out at 133%. Although not proportional to the whole page, this will allow for larger images.
