Print your Customized Newsletter.

print multiple copies for mailing to customers.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1.
The newsletter is in color on my screen. Can I print it in black-and-white? Yes. The newsletter works equally well when printed
in color or black-and-white. Color printing is more attractive and effective,
but it is also more expensive. To print your document in black-and-white from
Adobe Reader, click on the File menu, choose Print from the drop-down menu,
click on the Properties button and select Grayscale and OK.
2. Can I change the fonts, font size or color? If you have purchased the full version of Adobe
Acrobat, you can make some minor revisions in the document. However, with the
free version of Adobe Reader, you cannot change fonts, size or color. The
newsletter is set up to allow dealers to customize it quickly with minimum
effort and expense.
3.
I’ve entered the wrong text in a field. How do I change it? Place the cursor over the field and click the left
mouse button. Type in the accurate information.
4.
When I start typing, part of the text disappears. What should I do? Just keep typing. Text may disappear temporarily when

field, the text will reappear. (If a plus sign appears at end of box, you
should remove extra spaces or returns in that text area.)

Now that I’ve entered my customized text, can I save the customized newsletter? Yes. This file is “enabled” with the ability to save
changes, if you have Adobe Reader 7.0 or 8.0. If you have an older version of
