I made a pattern and converted it into a PDF. I know how to print out via PC stitch to make the square grids largerand into muptiple pages, but when I want to print from my PDF file it prints one page. So does anyone know how to break up the graph so it prints into multiple pages to make the squares larger. If I have a PDf that is 150 x 180 how do I print that into 5 or 6 pages. I have windows 7
Thank you

I don't know how you converted your pattern to PDF but it was not a "print". The way to get a PDF as a multiple page, just like a print of the .pat file is to install a virtual printer that converts to PDF - such as PrimoPDF (free). That is just one example and the one I use. I know there are ore.

All you do is install the free product. It then thinks it's a printer and shows up on the available printer list of all software on your computer. Just select that when printing and create a PDF. With PrimoPDF, you have multiple options for the clarity of the image but "Print" works best for most cases. The finer the definition, the larger the PDF file!

Then you can print your PDF just the same as the original print -- multiple pages.

Note -- I have been using PrimoPDF for years -- I started when I used ME and it still works (with updates along the way) with Windows 7 64 bit.

Thank you I figured it out. I changed the Specific Stitches per inch from 10 to 7 and that increased the size of the squares and I was able to save it into a pdf
