Thank you for your interest in C&T Publishing downloads.
We call an eBook, ePattern, or eProject a download. When you purchase a download from C&T Publishing, you are purchasing a license to an electronic version of a book, project, or pattern. The electronic version is a PDF or ePub file (a digital book or project) that you can view on your computer using Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) (NOT Adobe Reader).
You can print the eBook or read it on your computer. You can print all or just parts of it. You must install Adobe Digital Editions on your computer in order to open and print our downloads. Adobe Digital Editions is FREE and can be downloaded by clicking below. ADE is very easy to use and enables you to customize your viewing experience.
You may not email the download to another person. You will not receive a printed book from us unless you purchased a Book + eBook bundle or Book separately.
Once you complete your purchase of the download, you can instantly download the eBook right from your order confirmation page.
In addition, you will receive a receipt via email from ctinfo@ctpub.com that includes a special link. This link will allow you to download the eBook to your computer. All instructions for how to download the file are included in the email.
As a further feature, links to all of your downloaded books are maintained on the ctpub.com website, in case your computer ever crashes or you delete a file accidentally. To locate your downloads, log in to the ctpub.com website and click on "my account." Next, click on "my eBooks" and you will see a list of your purchased downloads. These links are currently maintained for 1 year.
If you are having technical difficulties with a download you've purchased from C&T, please refer to the instructions in your email receipt or read below. If you are unable to find the information you need, please send an email to ctinfo@ctpub.com or call us at 925-677-0377 ext. 201 (M-F 8am to 4pm PST).
Our PDF downloads are of the highest quality possible. We create clickable bookmarks that make viewing and printing our PDF's fast, fun & easy. We place one-inch reference grids on all of our template and pattern pages so that you can ensure you are getting accurate printouts.
All downloadable products are distributed in PDF format and soon also in ePub format. Adobe Digital Editions (free download) is required to open and view most of our PDF downloads. Some of our downloads are sold as unprotected PDF's. To open unprotected PDF's you can use any PDF reader. All major operating systems (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) either have a PDF compatible reader already installed or they have a free alternative available for download. Please consult your computer manufacturer or software vendor if you have questions concerning PDF compatible software.
"Adobe reader could not open URLink (2).acsm because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
If you receive the preceding error message, it indicates your system is attempting to open a file in Adobe Reader that requires Adobe Digital Editions. Make sure you have Adobe Digital Editions installed and open the file via the application menu.
Note: The Kindle, iPhone and other portable digital book readers have not been tested to read our PDFs. We will be offering files soon that are formatted to work on the Kindle, iPhone, Sony and other hand-held devices. Most portable readers will open PDF documents, but usability may be limited due to the limitations of the device itself.
When you click the Add to Cart button you will be forwarded to a screen to complete your transaction. Once you complete your transaction you will have immediate access to download your PDF. You will also receive an email within a few minutes that provides you with a link to obtain your download.
If your download process is interrupted, you can refer to your email and download the products that you have purchased. Your downloads can also be accessed by clicking on "my account" at the top of the C&T Publishing website. You may not email or share your PDF with any other person. You are purchasing a single copy that is for your sole use and may not be shared. Please refer to the legal page within the download for more information.
Some of our printed books have large pattern pull-out sections. Since it would be impractical to present these large patterns in the eBook, we break the patterns apart onto single pages. We place a one-inch reference grid on all of the template and pattern pages to ensure you get accurate printouts. In order for templates and pattern pages to print correctly to scale, be sure that your PDF reader is set to print 100% page size (or scaling set to none). Some printers will also try to "fit to page." Be sure that your printer is not scaling your printouts to something other than 100% actual page size.
All C&T Publishing eBooks and Downloads are protected by International Copyright Law. It is illegal to email or share these files with any other person or website. You may not post them on any network nor any file sharing website. Each time you purchase a download from C&T Publishing, the file is licensed solely to you. Please refer to the legal page within the download for more information.
