How to use the Digital Download Instructions Generator.
Download instructions should match the delivered file and software requirements. Separate receiving the file from opening, editing or printing it.
Make the workflow fit your task.
List the delivered files and explain receiving, extracting and opening them as separate steps. Match instructions to the actual formats and supported software, avoiding assumptions about editing or printing features.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Download package: artwork.zip containing poster.pdf and poster.png. Files are for viewing or printing, not an editable design source. Write buyer instructions.
Completed example
1. Download artwork.zip to your device. 2. Extract the ZIP archive using your device's archive tool. 3. Confirm that poster.pdf and poster.png are present. 4. Open the PDF in a compatible PDF viewer or the PNG in an image viewer. 5. Check the preview before printing. These files are not an editable design-source package.
Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Does downloading a ZIP make its contents ready to open individually?
The archive may need extracting first. Explain that step and identify the actual files the buyer should find afterward.
Why can a buyer open the preview but not edit the file?
Check whether an editable format was included and what software it requires. Viewing a file does not imply editing capability.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
