1. Open The PDF as normal

Depending on which program you use to open your pdf files, your screen might look a little different. However, the set up and terms will be very similar.

2. Click on “File”. Then, click on “Print” or “print options”

If your computer is set to print automatically without opening the printer options, choose “print options.” Most PC users (non-Mac) will want to choose the “print options.” This will open your printer options dialogue box.

3. CHoose the correct settings for printing.

1. You may only want to print certain pages from the pdf. For example, if you only want to print the written directions from the pattern and not the title page, notes, or links pages, you would choose those specific pages. So, for example 3 to 8.

2. Choose the paper size. Most US printers print to “letter” or “US letter”. However, not all countries print to the same sizes or you might want to use a smaller piece of paper, like B4. Select the paper size that is appropriate.

3. IMPORTANT: Choose the “scale to fit” or “fit to paper” option. This will automatically scale your pdf to the paper size you have chosen and maximize the space.

4. Make sure you have selected “Landscape” orientation.

5. Hit print.
