Want to go green this year and email out your gift ticket/voucher?
Unfortunately editable PDF’s aren’t suitable for emailing (because the fonts will look different depending on which program the viewer uses to open the email).
Here are 3 easy ways to convert your gift ticket into an emailable format:
1. Use the Snapshot Tool in Adobe Reader
Use the Snapshot tool in Adobe Reader to take a screenshot – it won’t copy the shaded boxes – and then paste the snapshot into your email or wherever you need it:
- Click on the top menu option EDIT > UNDO, REDO & MORE > TAKE A SNAPSHOT
- Drag a rectangle around the area you want to copy, and then release.
- Click outside the rectangle to exit Snapshot mode.
- Open your email program, messaging app etc and go ahead and paste the snapshot in.
[see this screenshot for help in locating this option]
TIP: You can increase the resolution of your snapshot:
- Click on the top menu option EDIT > PREFERENCES (Windows) or ACROBAT READER > PREFERENCES (Mac).
- Select “General” on the left.
- Select “Use fixed resolution for Snapshot tool images”.
- Type in a number (usually 200 pixels/inch for email is fine, 300 pixels/inch for printing).
2. Turn off the shaded boxes and take a screenshot as normal
You can turn off the blue shaded boxes in Adobe Reader and take a screenshot as normal:
- Click on the top menu option EDIT > PREFERENCES (Windows) or ACROBAT READER > PREFERENCES (Mac).
- Select “Forms” on the left.
- Deselect “Show border hover color for fields”.
- Take a screenshot as normal on your computer.
