Our Starter Kit was designed to print as a booklet. This will save paper, and make your Starter Kit a convenient, handheld size!
For Adobe Acrobat, click File > Print. Under "Page Sizing & Handling" select the tab "Booklet". Make sure the file is printing at the right proportions and orientation.
Printing as a booklet requires printing on both sides of the paper. In cases where the pages are flipped upside down, try changing your Printer Settings.
