Printing Patterns in PDF
PDF applications are PRINTERS. To save a pattern as a PDF click on PRINT. Set your paper size, arrange the pattern pieces on the page just like you were printing on paper. Then click PRINT to send to a PDF.I have tested Adobe Writer and Cute PDF
PDF programs
print the pattern in the PDF format. To print a pattern in PDF select
Print and select your PDF program. Select the desired size of your PDF. You will then direct the printed pattern to the desired folder. Browse to the folder and you will see your PDF pattern.
Adobe limits length to 45 inches. Testing the patterns printed correctly at less than 45 inches. Adobe will not let you select a length greater than 45.
Cute PDF allows you to select a longer length, but does not print. If you keep the length to less than 45 inches, Cute PDF prints correctly.
Before you print, check the settings in your PDF program. You want to remove margins.
It is suggested you first print a small object, such as a pocket, that you can print to PDF and then print your PDF document on a standard printer and measure to check the size.
The following was sent to a user by a tech at CutePDF:
Please select exact matched paper size (and orientation) during printing (in
print dialog box, click on Properties -> Advanced).
If you could not find a suitable paper size, you can add a custom paper
size to match your document exactly and print using that size.
Go to Control Panel -> Printers and Faxes and Choose Server Properties
command under File menu. Add your paper size on Forms tab.
