Course Measurement and Certification Procedures

Expiration/Renewal Policy

Because courses degrade over time, the USATF Road Running Technical Council decided in 1992 that all certifications would expire automatically 10 years after the year of issue. Initially, expired courses could be renewed upon testimony that the course was still in use and had not been altered. Then, in 2000, RRTC decided that such testimony is not adequate to overcome the uncertainty that inevitably creeps into every course; therefore, all courses must simply expire after 10 years, without any possibility of renewal.

The non-renewable policy adopted in 2000 was phased in over a 10-year period. That period ended at the end of 2011. All courses that were renewed at any time have expired. Expired courses are no longer renewable, but they must be re-measured in order to be recertified.

Both Chrome and Firefox have this default setting where they preview PDFs instead of downloading them. This can be a bit annoying, especially if you want to save them but are in a hurry. Therefore, in this article, we are going to see how to download PDFs instead of previewing them in Chrome and Firefox.

Download PDF instead of Previewing in Chrome

Google Chrome has its own PDF Viewer, so, when you click on a PDF, it will be opened with Chrome’s PDF on the browser itself. Therefore, we need to disable Chrome’s PDF viewer to download PFDs instead of previewing them.

1. To do that, launch Chrome
2. Click on the three vertical dots from the top-right corner of the window
3. Cick Settings.
4. Now, you need to click Privacy & Security from the left panel
5. SelectSite Settings from the right panel
6. Scroll down a bit, and click Additional content settings.
7. Click PDF documents and enable the toggle of Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome.

This way you will be able to download PDFs instead of previewing them in Chrome.

Download PDFs Instead of Previewing Them In Firefox

If you don’t use Chrome but Mozilla Firefox, you can still download PDF instead of opening them. Firefox also has a built-in PDF Viewer, just like Chrome, so, when you click on a PDF, the document will open with Firefox PDF viewer. To download PDF instead of previewing them in Firefox, you can follow the given steps:

1. Launch Firefox, click on the three horizontal lines, and select Options.
2. Make sure you are on the General tab and scroll down a bit to reach Applications.
3. From the “Portable Document Format (PDF)” section, change Open in Firefox to Save File.

This way you will be able to download PDFs instead of previewing them in Firefox.

If you want to save Google Slide as PDF, here is how to do it. Even if you want to save a Google Slides presentation as PDF with speaker notes, you can do that. No matter how many slides you have, there is no need to download third-party add-ons or use services to get the job done.

To Google Slides as PDF, follow these methods:

1. Using in-built download option
2. Using Print menu

To learn more about these methods, continue reading.

1] Using in-built download option

No matter whether you use Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides, you can find a common option called Download. This particular option helps you download your slides or presentation in various formats, including PDF. To use this option, you need to follow these steps:

First, make sure that you have created the slides entirely and it is ready to download. If so, click on the File menu visible in the top-left corner.

Then, select the Download option. It displays a series of options. From here, you need to select the PDF document option.

Once done, the download will start immediately.

2] Using Print menu

There could be times when you might want to download a specific slide of your presentation. The general download option doesn’t allow you to download a single slide of your presentation. That is why you can use the Print menu to download a particular slide or any number of specific slides as per your requirements.

To use the Print menu to download Google Slides as PDF, follow these steps:

Once the editing is done, click on the File menu and select the Print option.

Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+P to do the same. It opens the Print prompt. Once it is visible, expand the Destination list and select the Microsoft Print to PDF option.

Then, head to the Pages menu and expand it. From here, you can choose one of the four options:

• All
• Odd pages only
• Even pages only
• Customized

If you want to download a particular slide, you need to select the Customized option.

Next, enter the page number and click the Print button.

It will download your slide as PDF.

Note: We have tried it on Google Chrome. The print prompt may appear differently on a different browser. However, every browser allows you to do the same.

The main drawback of these two methods is that they do not download the slide with speaker notes. If you have included speaker notes in your slide, you cannot find them once it downloads as PDF. At times, speaker notes are important since you might have added some notes to demonstrate the slide to others. Fortunately, Google Slides comes with an option that lets you download the presentation as PDF with speaker notes.

1. Click on the File menu.
2. Select the Print preview option.

5. Click the Download as PDF option.

To know more about these steps, keep reading.

First, you need to click on the File menu and choose the Print preview option.

By default, it does not show the speaker notes. To show them, click on the 1 slide without notes menu and choose the 1 slide with notes option.

If you work with PDF files regularly then a PDF editor is an indispensable tool. Whether it’s part of your job, you manage PDF files for your own personal use, or you just need to complete a one-off editing task, a top editor program is an essential piece of software. Full-featured editors such as Adobe’s Acrobat Pro DC might provide all of the bells and whistles, but a free PDF editor can still offer most of the important tools of a paid service for no additional charge.

Plus, many free PDF editors are browser based, which means that you don’t need to worry about about platform- or device-compatibility issues.

Of course, free products won’t come with every feature of their premium counterparts. So, if you find that you need more advanced tools such as password protection, Bates numbering, or e-signatures, then you’re probably better served by a premium PDF editor.

What to look for in a free PDF editor

• Content editing: As its name indicates, a PDF editor’s primary function is to enable you to edit a document. That includes the ability to add and modify text; insert, resize, and move images; and reorganize pages in the PDF. Most free PDF editors will let you perform these tasks, though they may impose daily limits on how many you can perform or how many documents you can edit.
• Create, convert, and export PDFs: A common need for a PDF editor is to create PDF files from scanned hard copies or by converting digital documents. A good free PDF editor will be able to convert common file formats such as Word, JPG, and HTML to a PDF and preserve the original formatting. It should also be able to export PDFs into other editable formats such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, HTML, or plain text, maintaining the original files hyperlinks, images, and other elements.
• Review and annotate: Most free PDF editors allow you to add comments and other annotations to PDF files during review. Typical annotation tools include sticky notes, shapes, and drawing markup options.
• Signatures: Often all you need a PDF editor for is to sign a document. This used to be a premium feature only available on paid desktop editors, but more free PDF editors are allowing users to create and add electronic signatures to documents.
