To make it as easy as possible to print your standard North American bingo cards or customized bingo cards, we only use Adobe Portable Document Format ('PDF') files. This type of file is perfect for printing, because print output is exactly what the PDF format was designed to do.
In short, using PDF's eliminates those pesky headers and footers that you get when printing regular web pages in your web browser. Also, you will not have to worry about zoom, or font sizes, or margins, or headers, or footers on Perceptus' Free Bingo Card Generator. Since most people have a proper PDF viewer installed already, this site will 'just work' for the majority of our visitors.
Common Problems:
You can view print-bingo.com from home, but not at work or school
A few users are accessing the Internet through overly-agressive firewalls at work or at school that block access to all website domains that include the word bingo, as in print-bingo.com. For these rare situations, we have an alternate path to this website: http://bcg.perceptus.ca. To use the alternate path to our online bingo card generator, just replace print-bingo.com with bcg.perceptus.ca. Everything is the same, including your Premium access login.
If you receive a message from your web browser about not knowing how to interpret a .pdf file
Please follow this link to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. It is a completely free download (no spyware or viruses either) for modern Windows, Linux, and Apple operating systems. With this software installed, you will be able to view 'PDf' files. PDF files are quite common on the Internet, so it is quite useful to have this installed.
If you see a blank page:
Try a page refresh or the 'More Bingo Cards' link. If that does not fix the problem, you can try closing and opening your web browser. This appears to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat Reader since this problem is repeatable, but inconsistent.
You can try upgrading to a more recent version of Adobe Acrobat. The developers of this site regularly use and test with Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 and 8. To upgrade, follow the link two paragraphs previous to this one.
Also, you can try saving the PDF files to your desktop and opening them later. To do this, get to the bingo card preview page, the one on which you expect to see your bingo cards. Right click on the Manual Bingo Cards link and saving the file to your computer. Then find that file and double-click on it. It should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
