Look on the tpt home page. There is a place there to send them an email. Let me know if you don't see it. It is at the very bottom of the page. It says "contact us".

I did not have any pages to the book for book about Christopher Columbus..... there are text boxes to glue onto the pages - are there pages, or just cut out the same size as the title page..... this is the one with Christopher Columbus looking through the telescope - LOVE IT!! Such cute ideas!!
September 29, 2012
Kim Adsit (TpT Seller)
There is just the cover. In order to make the other pages in the book, use blank pages. Then, invite the children to glue one of the labels on each page. Then, they record that information on the page. The labels are on the same page as the title.

When I download the file, there are big black lines where the text is supposed to be. (I think) I asked to have the file emailed and it still had big black lines. This is not the first time this has happened to me. I wonder what the issue it?

Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. Customers with the problem you describe
have been able to resolve by one of two methods:
1. It sounds like you are either opening with an old version of Adobe Reader or if you have a Mac, you may be opening it with a Mac program called "Preview" and not even know it.
Preview has documented problems opening modern Adobe files. If you have a Mac, try opening Adobe Reader first (rather than just double clicking on the file), then open the file within
Adobe Reader.
You may also choose to set the default reader to Adobe Reader by following the
instructions below.
2.
If you are still having opening and you know you are using Adobe, look to see if you have a newer version. You can check the version by clicking Help then About from within reader. If you have a version earlier than 5.0 or 6.0, you should update your reader. Please let us know if either of these actions solves the problem.
According to TPT founder, 100% of fuzzy graphics is attributed to an old version of adobe or a non-adobe product, such as Preview.
To change the default reader on a Mac to Adobe:
Click on the icon of a PDF file type then choose File --> Get Info
You will see a dialog box labeled something like this "Gobble Gobble.pdf Info
Near the bottom, you will see a section titled "Open With:"
That indicates what application on you Mac is the default if you open the file from the desktop.
Click on the pop-up to bring up the list of possible applications and select Adobe Reader (whatever version is installed), then click "Change All" to make it the default application for all .pdf files (if that is what you want to do).
The OS will then ask you if you are sure, click "Continue."
Now the Mac will use Reader instead of Preview.
Make sure the version is new enough by following set 2 above
