Overview

Both printable and digital formats can be a lovely way to use your Scriptures & Schedules resources. The right choice depends on your tools, your preferences, and how you like to plan. Many products are offered as Printable PDF or Printable PDF + GoodNotes, while some listings describe a single file you can print or use on a tablet. Always check each product’s description for exactly what is included.

Printable and digital

FAQs

Are both formats included?

It depends on the product. Many products let you choose Printable PDF or Printable PDF + GoodNotes on the product page, and the second option includes both. Other listings describe a single PDF you can print or use on a tablet. Check each product description before you buy.

Do I need Goodnotes?

No. Goodnotes is not included with your purchase. Product listings mention Goodnotes, Notability, or a similar PDF annotation app, and the printable PDF can simply be printed. Apps may have their own costs, and features such as hyperlinks and page duplication vary by app, so check your app’s help pages.

Can I use both?

Yes, if your purchase includes a printable PDF and you have a compatible app: you can print some pages and use others on a tablet. A PDF can usually be imported into an annotation app, though it may not include the hyperlinks of a digital edition. Please stay within the product licence when printing or copying.

Will anything be mailed to me?

No. These are digital products only. You download your files after purchase.
