The contract is sent as a secured Adobe .pdf document. Except for filling in the appropriate blannks, it can't be altered. Once it's filled in, it can't be saved, either--only printed.<br /><br />This is called "lawyerthink." ;-)K. Z.

Why? People fax legal docs all the time and it's the exact same concept.Teddy Pighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660335158038390871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677034.post-86784661077203937442009-09-14T09:06:18.357-05:002009-09-14T09:06:18.357-05:00Have to say it again: You guys are the greatest! ...Have to say it again: You guys are the greatest! Thanks again for your offers of help.<br /><br />Jeanne, the reason I held off going that route was the initial response I got from TPTB, which was, in short, "adjust the settings on your printer." I figured the ball was back in my court and it was up to me to find a solution.K. Z.

And I don't want to impose on a friend to print out 22 pages of contract that'll eat up <i>their</i> ink. Besides, most of the people I know have crappier computers than I do and don't even have printers because they don't need 'em.<br /><br />This is just humiliating. Wish I could afford a better printer, but I can't. Ain't no sugar daddy in <i>this</i> household! ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for your concern, sweetie.K. Z.

Or PITA, but take it to a Kinkos or something... download the file to an external USB and let them figure it out at Kinkos?<br /><br />Sounds so ridiculous that your books getting published hinge on a stupid watermark and an assumption by a publisher that everyone has a sophisticated printer. Still rooting for you.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.com
