Frequently Asked Questions
How fillable PDFs work, how Etsy delivery works, and how to get help — everything in one place.
What exactly is a fillable PDF guide?
It is a workbook in PDF form with type-in fields on the exercise pages. Open it on a phone, tablet, or computer, type your answers straight into the fields, and save as you go — or print it and write by hand. Every Life Guides & Templates workbook works both ways.
Do I need any special app or software?
No. Any PDF reader works — the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app is a great choice on phones and tablets, and Preview (Mac), Edge, or Chrome all open and fill the guides on a computer. If you plan to write by hand or draw, just print the pages you need (US Letter).
How do I get my guide after I buy it?
Instantly. Checkout and delivery happen through Etsy: as soon as your payment clears, your files are ready to download from the confirmation page and from your Etsy account under Purchases and reviews. No physical item is shipped, and you can re-download your files from Etsy anytime.
Can I use my guide more than once?
Yes — that is one of the best parts of a fillable guide. Save a fresh copy for a new goal, a new quarter, or a new chapter of life, and type in the fields again. Your purchase is yours to keep and reuse for your own personal use.
What is the Weekly Reset bonus?
Every order comes with a free Weekly Reset worksheet — a one-page fillable bonus with three prompts (a win, a lesson, and an intention) plus a gratitude line. It is our thank-you gift, offered with every purchase, no strings attached.
Can I share a guide with a friend, my team, or my clients?
Guides are licensed for personal use only — © 2026 Life Guides & Templates, all rights reserved — so please don’t share, resell, or distribute the files. If you’d like to use a guide with a group, classroom, or clients, message us through Etsy first and ask; we’re happy to talk.
What if I need a refund or something goes wrong with a file?
Because these are instant digital downloads, returns and refunds are handled under Etsy’s digital-item policy. If a file won’t open, a field misbehaves, or anything else goes sideways, message the shop through Etsy and we’ll help you get it working — that’s a promise, whatever the policy says.
How do I choose the right guide?
Start with the moment you’re in: a move, a wedding, a new job, a budget that needs a system, a year that needs a proper ending. Browse the Guides page by category, or tap the Otto chat button on any page of this site and describe what you’re working on — it knows all 37 guides and will point you to the right one.
Are the guides a substitute for professional help?
No. Our workbooks are educational tools for reflection and planning. They are not clinical therapy, and not professional legal, medical, or financial advice — a few guides (like The Peace of Mind Guide and The Art Within) say so right inside, too. See our Terms & Disclaimers page for the full texts.
How do I get help if I’m stuck?
Two easy ways: use the guide-help chat on this website (the Professor Otto button in the corner of every page), or send us a message through Etsy. We read every message and reply personally.
