DukeNukem Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 I'm trying to download the full size pattern of the United States quarter map on Steve Goods site if anyone can help or give me a clue as to why it won't print full size any help is appreciated thanks. Jerry Quote
Dan Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 Jerry, when the print dialog comes up (where you can select the page number, number of copies, etc) there's a check box at the bottom that says "Fit to Page". Make sure that box is NOT checked. That may be the issue. Quote
Dan Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 If you downloaded to your computer and open with Adobe Acrobat the print dialog box will look something like this: Make sure the Page Scaling is set to Tile large pages. Quote
DukeNukem Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Posted October 31, 2016 I'd really love to cut this but everything I do is just wasting paper thanks for the help. Jerry Quote
Debi Shipman Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 (disclaimer: I know very little about printing) I do know his new wreath pattern has to be printed at 170%. I don't think the "Actual size" option will work for this. You might play around with the percentages and see what it looks like in the preview window. You should be able to guesstimate the size by how many sheets it's going to use. Quote
Dan Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 I just printed page 3 (the continental US map) and it printed on four pages when I selected Tile large pages. It should work. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote

Jim McDonald Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I this ready to scan as a six page PDF document. Then all you have to do is butt splice the pages and trim. I'm going to save it to a thumb drive and if I see a request later, I can send it from my laptop.

hotshot Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) I had someone contact me about printing one of my coin patterns earlier this week, related to scaling. I think the problem in that case was that the user was opening the pdf directly from their browser, and that browser plugin gives reduced functionality. I tried to explain that they needed to save the pattern locally, then open in acrobat (usually by double clicking). I haven't heard back from him to see if he was able to get it to work or not. This is one of those things that is easier to show someone in person, or have someone computer savvy assist with. -----------Randy Edited October 31, 2016 by hotshot Quote

Rockytime Posted November 3, 2016 Report Posted November 3, 2016 Just downloaded in six tiled pages. Works for me. Thanks. Quote
