PDF Access & Viewing update FAQ
Q: Why can’t I import the pattern into GoodNotes, Notability, or similar apps?
A: Our patterns are now set to view-only and locked to prevent unauthorized editing, printing and redistribution. Apps like GoodNotes, Notability, and Notes require editing permissions, which are restricted under this format so they will no longer be compatible.
Q: What apps can I use to view the pattern?
A: You can access your pattern using any standard PDF reader, including:
• Adobe Acrobat
• Preview (on Mac)
• Books app (iPhone/iPad)
• Any other non-editing PDF viewer
Q: Why did you make this change?
A: This update was implemented to safeguard the originality and integrity of our designs. Unfortunately, we encountered instances where our patterns were altered and redistributed without authorization. To prevent misuse and ensure our work remains protected, we’ve added this additional layer of security. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Q: Will this apply to all future patterns?
A: Yes, all of our patterns moving forward will follow this view-only format to maintain consistency and protect our creative work.
