Free Calendars
▶ How can I print the calendars in a different format?
The free calendars are PDF files designed to print in "landscape" paper orientation on 8.5x11 paper. The standard American calendar week begins on Sunday. At this time, additional formats are not available.
▶ I can’t download the [insert month] calendar! Can you help me?
Many of the calendars are graphic intensive and may "hang" on an older browser or slower internet connection. For best results with downloading, please use the latest version of Adobe Reader, as well as an updated browser. Additionally, instead of opening the file directly from the link, you may try to right-click/save-as on the download link to save the PDF to your computer. Then locate the PDF file from where you saved it on your computer and open it from there.
▶ Can I add text to the calendars?
The free calendars do not have a feature to add text to the date boxes. In the future, an editable text feature will be available in a paid version. The addition of this feature has been sidelined until I'm able to get caught up on other design work.
▶ What program do you use to design the calendars?
I use a nifty little program called Xara Xtreme 5. Read more about it in this post.
Free Printables
▶ Will you change the [blank] on this free printable for me? Or send me the original file, so I can alter it?
Per the Terms of Use, all ABP freebies are offered 'as-is'. Font, color or wording changes are not available. Enduser alterations to the freebies are prohibited. I would be happy to customize the printable for you as a custom order.
▶ May I use one of your free printables for my [insert business, organization, event or activity]?
All ABP freebies are free for personal, non-commerical use only. Please read the full Terms of Use for detailed terms & restrictions. If you're still unsure, please contact me.
▶ Do you have any tips for printing?
I use photo paper to print pretty much everything! It really makes all the difference in quality. Please read this post for additional printing tips.
▶ I love your free printables! Can you make [insert item] for free?
I keep a list of IDEAS for {Free Printables} and would love to add your suggestion to the list. I’m not saying that item is for sure going to get made and/or offered for free, just that I’ll definitely keep it in mind! Additionally... you may considering requesting a custom order.
Graphics and Software
▶ Where do you get all of your adorable graphics? Is it clip art?
No clip art is used, I design and illustrate my own creations. Read more about it this post.
▶ What software program do you use to create graphics?
I use a nifty little program called Xara Xtreme 5. Read more about it in this post.
