NOT AN ERROR
The popup error message that says the material may be newer then your present reader and you should upgrade is not an error; IT'S ADOBE YANKING ON THE LEASH. The charts are encoded for PDF 4 or higher (for very old computers) so their message is meaningless. We have nothing to do with the popup messages generated by proprietary software venders. WE DO NOT USE POPUP ADS OR MESSAGES. In the future, our charts may be encoded by Open Source software for precision printing on the Internet without popup upgrade now messages. But for now, grin & bear it; Open Source precision printing is still in its infancy, but maturing rapidly.

The Help & Download Center is not yet fully functional. The 2009 Charts are on-line and can be printed from the Internet right now. If you are here from an old bookmark, click on the chart you want to print (from the graphic links found in the right window pane) and re-bookmark the new chart site. If you tried and could not print a chart, try the methods posted below.
Our goal is to provide a SIMPLE one-click printed jogging chart directly from the Internet. But the enormous variety of devices and the software to operate them - mostly proprietary and incompatible with each other - offers a significant challenge to this goal of simplicity. In short, it's difficult being simple on the Internet, although we will keep trying. New FAQs, troubleshooting guide and chart download packages should be on-line shortly. Pardon the construction delays as we rearrange our on-line print shops for 2009 and beyond.

Method 1
For Adobe PDF reader 5 or higher. The following links will open a new window with the chart embedded in an unscripted PDF file - that is, the chart will not print automatically. This gives you the opportunity to set the PDF print options manually. Wait for the PDF file to fully load - be patient, the chart is a very large graphic. Click on the PRINT ICON on the PDF menu bar ***NOT YOUR BROWSER'S FILE MENU AT THE VERY TOP LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN*** but locate the PDF menu bar below that at the start of your browser's data area. Select the PRINT ICON and a print setup window should appear.
- For Adobe PDF reader 5: Make sure the "Print As Image" option is selected, and select the two resize options, "Shrink Oversized Pages" and "Expand Small Pages." Also select "Auto-rotate and Center Pages." Turn on your printer and click OK.
- For Adobe PDF reader 6 or higher: Select the "Best Fit to Page" option in the dropdown menu. Turn on your printer and click OK.
Note - return the settings to their previous state after your chart completely prints. THIS PAGE WILL REMAIN OPEN UNDER THE PDF CHART PAGE, so you can easily refer to it if necessary. Close the chart page manually when finished. ALSO TURN OFF ANY ACTIVE POPUP BLOCKER OR YOU'LL CLICK AND GET NOTHING.

Method 2
If you hate fidgeting with program settings but absolutly demand a one-click solution, try this printing method. It may print your chart with larger margins, producing a slightly smaller version of the chart, eliminating any missing or cut-off sections. This method has AUTOMATIC PRINTING with the "Shrink Oversized Pages" option pre-selected for you. Please TURN ON YOUR PRINTER and click a link below.
