Printing Guide

Just Scribble files allow you to print on A4 / US Letter Paper or pre-cut paper (insert size paper). The instructions below will ensure that your planner inserts print out correctly.

  • Always use Adobe Reader to print your files, it's a free software from Adobe. Do not print from your web browser or any other software!
  • Download your PDF File.
    • For dashboards and most freebie printables, there is only 1 PDF file.
    • For planner printables there are two PDF options:
      • 2 page files: this prints a two-page, spread printing
      • 1 page files: this prints a single page printing
  • Open your file with the free Adobe Reader (see link above to download if needed). Right click on your file and select "open with" if this is your first time.
  • Ensure your printer setting options are set as follows:
    • Page Setup: Select the paper size you wish to print on. 
    • Printer: Select the printer you wish to print from.
    • Pages to Print: Select the pages you want to print
    • Page Size and Handling: Actual Size (or 100%) important for printing true to size 
    • Orientation: Auto Portrait / Landscape 
  • When printing two-sided:
    • Make sure print on both sides of paper is selected:
      • Select Flip on long edge if the document preview shows a portrait orientation.
      • Select Flip on short edge if the document preview shows a landscape orientation.
      • If your printer does not have the option to print on both sides of the paper automatically you will need to manually select odd / even pages and flip your paper.
Solving Common Printing Issues: 
  • Printout is not the correct size: Confirm the "actual size" option is selected under page size & handling. This will ensure that your printer does not resize the PDF based on your paper size.
  • Printout is not centered:  Confirm the orientation is set to "auto" instead of portrait or landscape. This will ensure that your printer prints the PDF file in the center of your paper.
  • Printout is too dark or too light:  Every printer is different and can experience color density variation. Some printers offers the ability to adjust the "print density" which will increase or decrease the darkness of your printout. Please reach out to your printer's user guide or customer service to learn how to make these adjustments if they are available. 
  • Something is wrong with the file: On rare occasions, the file may have been damaged during download due to an issue with your computer. Try to re-download the file to see if the issue subsides.
