How To Get Help If You Can't Print

Schema Inventories from Your Mac

 

IMPORTANT:  If you are a Mac user who can view all of the schema pages from the DRMZ file but cannot print all of the pages using Javelin Reader, then you will be given an opportunity to become part of our Pilot eBook program for Mac users with printing problems. Be sure to read all of the instructions below carefully.

 

Are you a Mac user with this problem: you are able to read the schema inventories (or the Compatibility Test schema pages) in Javelin Reader, but you cannot print any pages (or most pages) from the file? You may get an error message telling you that Javelin cannot print to your model of printer. If you fit this profile, then you qualify to enroll in our Pilot eBook Program for Mac Users through "self-authorization" (i.e., you can join the program without having to get prior authorization from our Support Staff first). 

 

If you are a Mac user who could not open our DRMZ file, authorize the file, or view the schema pages using Javelin Reader, then this eBook solution will probably NOT solve your problem. Please skip the section below about the Pilot Program, and scroll down to the section called How To Obtain Technical Support for a Mac. Then send us your answers to the required diagnostic questions so that you can get additional technical support from us. 

 

Overview of the Pilot eBook Program

 

We are just beginning a pilot program to offer our Schema Inventories as a "Secure PDF eBook" (or "Protected PDF eBook"). These eBooks contain the identical Schema Inventories and Forms that are offered through our standard Javelin Reader file; however, they have been secured with standardized Adobe DRM protection, and are downloaded in an easy-to-install, eBook format developed by Adobe. Thus far, all of the Mac users with the printing problem described above have been able to print the Schema Inventories successfully using this eBook format.

 

Depending on the feedback we receive during this pilot, we will probably change over to the  "Secure PDF eBook" solution for all new Mac customers. We may later switch to eBooks for Windows users as well. However, very few Windows customers report any problems viewing or printing, once they have installed Javelin Reader correctly. 

 

The only Windows users who contact us about  Javelin issues on a fairly regular basis are those working in larger institutional settings, like hosptitals or universities, where internet firewalls often prevent downloading and authorizing the files we use. Mac users would probably encounter the same issues, but most large institutional settings still use Windows computers -- and we are not sure whether eBooks will remedy these issues.

 

Compatibility of our "Secure PDF eBooks" 

 

The Secure PDF eBook format that we use is compatible with most Windows and Mac computers, and with many major tablet devices, when opened in compatible eBook Readers.  However, we only offer technical support for viewing and printing eBooks using the “Adobe Digital Editions" eReader. Digital Editions is available in different versions, as a free download for Mac and Windows computers. (We will refer to this software as ADE in the instructions below.) We only support our eBooks on Mac computers running OS X 10.6 or above.

 

Although we do not offer any guarantees or technical support, our eBooks can also be viewed on iPad tablets, and on most Android tablets that can download apps from the Google Play Store. The most highly recommended, ADE-compatible app for viewing Schema eBooks on iOS and Android tablets is Bluefire Reader. However, to the best of our knowledge, the Schema Inventories in our eBook cannot be printed correctly from tablet devices (except for Windows 8/8.1 tablets that can run in desktop mode, such as the Lenovo Yoga).  

 

Schema eBooks are also compatible with some dedicated eReader devices, such as the Nook. However they cannot be viewed on Kindle Readers, in Kindle apps, or in Apple iBook apps. (Schema eBooks can only be viewed on Kindle Fire tablets if you are a tech-savvy Android user.)

eBook Installation Instructions for Compatible Mac Computers

 

If you would like to begin the eBook Pilot Pogram for Mac Users, the first step is to complete the Mac eBook Compatibility test.

 

This section contains complete instructions on how to install the ADE Reader on your Mac, authorize it, then view and print the sample pages included in your Compatibility Test eBook file. The same instructions can be used for both the eBook Compatibility Test, and later for installing the complete Schema Inventories eBook, if you decide to purchase it .

 

Please follow the instructions below carefully:

 

1.  Click on the link below that is compatible with your version of OS X, to begin downloading the ADE installation file with your browser. 

 

        a. For Mac OS X 10.7 or Higher:  

 

    http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg

 

        b. For Mac OS X 10.6 Only: 

 

    http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_2.0_Installer.dmg

 

2.  Locate the installer file named ADE_3.0_Installer.dmg  OR  ADE_2.0_Installer.dmg. You can usually find the file in your Downloads folder in Finder or from your Dock. 

 

3.  Double-click on the .dmg file. (This will mount the disk image.) 

 

4.  Open (launch) the Digital Editions Installer, using one of these two methods: double-click on the Installer icon; OR control-click on the Installer icon, then click Open.

 

5. Once the Installer launches, click Continue to proceed with the installation. Follow the instructions in the setup wizard to complete the installation. Click Done to exit the setup wizard.

 

6. Once the installation is complete, Adobe Digital Editions should launch automatically. (You can also open Adobe Digital Editions from your Applications folder.) Go to Step 7.

 

If you have difficulties installing ADE on your Mac, click on either of the links below for detailed instructions, with photos to guide you. (The instructions for ADE2 and ADE3 are almost the same.)

7.   a. You will now need to complete a free, one-time registration for an Adobe ID, in order to authorize ADE on your Mac. (If you already have an Adobe ID, skip to Step 10. Be sure to use your existing Adobe ID, instead of registering for a new one.)

 

      b. The first time ADE opens, a special Computer Authorization dialogue box may open automatically. If this box to authorize your computer is open, go to Step 8. If not, click on the Help menu near the top of ADE. Then click on "Authorize Computer..."The Computer Authorization dialog box will now open.

 

8.  Near the middle of the "Computer Authorization" dialogue box, next to the words "Adobe ID", you will see "Create an Adobe ID" in blue. Click on this link. This will bring you to the Adobe website where you will be able to sign up for an Adobe ID.

 

9. On the Sign Up page, fill in all of the information required to register, including your email address and password. Then click "Sign Up".

 

10. Once you have completed the Adobe ID registration process, return to the "Computer Authorization" dialogue box in ADE. Follow the instructions below to authorize your computer:

 

a. In the field labeled “eBook Vendor”, be sure that “Adobe ID” is already selected.

 

b. Enter your Adobe ID and Password in the next two boxes (from Step 9 above).

 

c. Click Authorize. Your computer is now authorized with your Adobe ID. (You will not have to authorize this computer again to view eBooks in ADE.)

 

If you have difficulties signing up for an Adobe ID or authorizing your computer in ADE, click on the link below for detailed instructions, with photos to guide you.

12. Open the email you just received from us on your Mac. Locate your Personal File Link for the Compatibility Test eBook in the email, then click on it. (If you prefer, you can also copy and paste the link into the address bar of your browser; then hit the Return key.)

 

13.  Locate the file named URLLink.acsm on your Mac, then click on it. You can usually find the file in your Downloads folder in Finder or from your Dock. After clicking on the .acsm file, your Schema eBook should appear in your ADE library.

 

13.  Find your Mac Compatibility Test eBook in the ADE library, then double-click on the eBook file name or icon. Your Schema eBook should then open in a separate window within ADE. To view the pages in your eBook, you can scroll up and down; you can also zoom to make the fonts larger or smaller.

 

14.  To print from your eBook, click on the File menu, the click Print. Select the page numbers you want to print, then click the Print button. The pages you selected should now print correctly. (Depending on your printer, you may find that the printed version looks slightly different from the on-screen view; for example, the margins may be different, or the font sizes may change. These can sometimes be adjusted by finding the printer properties page for your printer, and changing the scaling percentage.)

 

15. You can only install your "Compatibility Test eBook" link once on your Mac computer. The eBook is valid for 30 days from the date you install it, and you are only allowed to print a total of 42 pages from the eBook.

 

We hope that this eBook solution is compatible with your Mac and printer. If you have any problems installing, viewing, or printing your Schema eBook, please read the Troubleshooting FAQ here first. Then feel free to email or phone us for support.
