Printing and Printer Setup

This section gives an overview on the printing settings and printer setup for print on demand stationary.

When you print an item from FrontRunner's Print on Demand program, the stationery item will download to your computer as a PDF file. This allows you the option to review the stationery before printing. gives you the ability to send it to the family to review before printing, and, because PDF's are a universally accepted file format, means that if you have issues with your printer in-house the files can easily be taken to a print shop for printing. 

We recommend using Adobe Acrobat Reader for printing PDF's. This free program is pre-installed on most computers, and free to install if your computer does not have it. 

Printing your PDF Files

  • Open the PDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader. If your document isn't opening in Adobe Acrobat Reader, see below. 

  • Click Print. 

  • There are three pieces of information to review in the Print Dialog menu before clicking print:

    • From the Paper Size and Handling section, ensure Actual Size is selected. This ensures that your document will print to the proper specifications that the template has been set up for. 

    • From the Orientation section, ensure that Auto Portrait/Landscape is selected. 

    • From the right hand side of the print dialog box, above the document preview, ensure that the Document Size and the Page Size match. If these two items do not match you may need to select the document or paper size, or you may need to set up a custom paper size.

Please note: Some browsers like Google Chrome are set up to open PDF's within the browser using the browser's own PDF viewer. We do not recommend using this option for printing stationery as it can often cause issues when printing because it is an extremely simplified PDF program. Ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader for best printing practices.

To turn off the PDF Viewer in Google Chrome:

  1. Click the three dots in the upper right of your browser window (just below the "x").

  2. Click Settings. 

  3. Scroll to the bottom and click Advanced.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the first section (Privacy and Security) and click Content Settings. 

  5. Click PDF Documents. 

  6. Activate the toggle to Download PDF Files.
