BugsMama Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I thought I would be able to save these files to my computer.... I guess not. I thought someone was using these pdf's on tablets, how do you do that without saving the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eight_gregorys Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You can print to a PDF and save them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Download PrimoPDF for free, then "print" the files by choosing PrimoPDF as your printer, which will actually save the files to your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I would respectfully suggest that Evan Moor change this. Not only are many homeschoolers choosing materials that we can let our kids do on a tablet to save storage space and be more environmentally sound, but many schools are restricting copies and encouraging digital device use as well. It doesn't have to be something saveable in a usable form-if the child could do the paper online, and then email a filled in, non-editable form so that the teacher could grade it later or the parent could save THAT for a portfolio, that would be great. It is likely I won't be renewing my subscription after 2 years in large part because it's not reasonable to (for example) print out 6 pages of a Greek myth and a couple of pages of multiple choice questions for DD to literally make 20 pencil marks on, after which they'll be recycled. I don't mind, and appreciate printing things like Mythology and History Pockets, Take to your seat centers, and so on-but many of the other activities simply do not need to be printed and would be much more usable if they could at least be VIEWED on a tablet. Teacher File Box has been a great value for me and a wonderful service to have available, particularly for my asynchronous child-but I do believe that being print on demand and ONLY print on demand is reducing the utility to me.

BugsMama Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sigh. Good to know. I wish I would have realized this before purchasing. Next time I'll read the fine print closer. I guess I won't be renewing, because the plan was to use it on a tablet and save paper/resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there is a way to print a whole book in one go without having to find all the separate bits it's been divided up into? For things like Daily Language Review it's very time consuming to find all the 36 weeks and printing them out separately. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brill123 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi, Curious to know that if we subscribe TFB, then would I be able to save e books files to my laptop/dropbox before printing? Would we be able to unsubscribe easily after a month or two month usage if needed? Waiting for your guidance...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef03 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 "Would I be able to save e books files to my laptop/dropbox before printing?" No, unless they have changed their website recently you are only able to print - you can't save any files. "Would we be able to unsubscribe easily after a month or two month usage if needed?" According to their policy you should be able to; however in my experience: No... http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/436368-problems-with-evan-moor-teacherfilecom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
