Recently I can across a slight issue with my files that I just couldn't figure out. Being a techy girl I thought I was going to rip my hair out trying to fix something that was so easy! Now I don't feel so bad because a few other TpT teachers are having the same issue so I don't feel alone :)
If you are a TpT creator (you aren't?!? Click here to sign up) you know that PDF's become your best friends! But what do you do to get rid of that dreaded white border??? And how do you lock down those cutsie little images?? Look no further!

Does this work for PCs as well? or is there a tutorial for that somewhere? I couldn't find those options when I tried, but I would love to know!

Darn! I couldn't get it to work on my PC. :( Your method looks so easy, but I guess I need a Mac. Hmmm...maybe I NEED one on my Christmas list! :) Thanks for your help, Jessica!

Thank you for sharing your techy knowledge! :)
I followed your directions step by step , but I have a question/comment... I noticed that after I saved with the security option in place, when I reopened the PDF on my own computer and tried to save it, I was prompted to put in the password in order to save it. I would think that TPT buyers wouldn't be so happy if they purchased something but then couldn't save it to their computer. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your tutorials as I'm just getting into selling on TPT.

Hi and thank you so much for the video. I still have a couple of questions on saving as PDF. First in the powerpoint do you change the margins there as well as in the print menu? Second, I don't have the save as a PDF in my print menu. So do I just save as a PDF after changing my print options? I use a PC and not a Mac if that helps you answer.
Thank you so much! This was super helpful! :)

Thanks for this awesome tutorial! I saw a different tutorial about locking graphics and fonts where you have to save the ppt file as images first and then combine them into a pdf file. Somehow the quality of the images would go down and things will look fuzzy which doesn't make my product look appealing anymore. This tutorial has definitely saved the day for me! So thank you again! :)

Awesome tutorial, so helpful!
Thanks for your tutorial. It is going to help so many. I have started a link party to help bloggers advertise their TpT products, but I want to make sure that their products are all password protected. So I have shared your video on my link party, and hope that it is okay that I continue to share it with each link party that I host. I have given you credit for it, and also a link back your blog. Thanks again for all of the help!!!!

Oh my goodness! I just realized that none of my TpT files were "secure" and I was having a freak-out moment. I thought I was going to have to shell out some major cash to fix them, but your tutorial has saved the day! Seriously! Thank you!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I figured out how to secure it, but couldn't figure out the white border ugliness! YOU are my hero :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I haven't yet posted any products to TpT but hope to in the near future. I was wondering how to make pdf files secure. I can now cross this off my list. Your video was extremely easy to follow. Thanks so much!

This was SUPER helpful! Thank you SO SO SO very much!
Oh my goodness!! I have been working to make sure everything I post in my TPT follows all the guidelines and everything. I was strugggggggggling to secure everything down and finally gave into paying to get Adobe Acrobat to do all of the things you just showed. Still, it's a big mess to save everything as an image (I've lost the image quality..ugh!!) and then finalize everything. I am going to try this right now. I am SOOOOOO excited! I'm hoping it works so I can cancel my Adobe Acrobat Pro before getting charged a cancel fee!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Okay, so I just tried this all out and it is AMAZING! THANK YOU!!
The only question I have is how to keep my hyperlinks for my credits page? If I have a link typed out or connected to actual words, it seems to still work, but if there's a link on an image, it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you so much!!
