The print only version is used to print out and complete the templates by hand and the Fillable version can be completed by typing and adding photos directly into the forms from your computer or laptop. You would need to purchase the Business or Lifetime Subscription plan if you like to distribute these templates to multiple educators in your centre. Please read the plans details in our Subscribe page for more info. The original file size for these Template forms are only around 1MB each which is pretty small. However, the final "saved" form's file size will change considerably since it depends on the size of each contents that you attach to these forms. For instance, a template can end up having a huge file size if you include photos that are too big or too large in filesize to these forms. Although the forms re-size these photos to a smaller size to fit the boxes, the original file size of these images still remains the same. Here is an example of how the file size of "saved and completed forms" will work: If the size of 1 photo (say for example) is 3MB, then when you add 3 photos with 3MB size for each into this Learning story form (or any other template), then all of a sudden this form ends up being a massive 10MB file (1MB is the size of the Original File + 9MB due to adding 3 photos size of 3 MB each). So that's the reason why the file size becomes too large. Please read the next question for more info on 'How to reduce the filesize'. If your completed form's filesize becomes too big, its usually due to the photos attached to it. You need to optimize the photos to a smaller size (less than 1MB for each photo if possible) using a photo editing software like Photoshop before including them to the templates. Once the photo size is reduced, the filesize will also reduce by a lot. Yes. The font size for some text fields can be changed. To increase or decrease the font size, click on the "+" or "-" buttons next to "Font Size" on the form's control panel. The form's Control Panel is located at the bottom of the template pages. |
