I thought I had PC Stitch 5 but now I found I have PC Stitch 6. How I came to that conclusion I'll never know!
I went to the 'floss usage summery' settings and check marked to have the 'floss usage summery' print out with everything else so it would all print out together in one PDF document. But for some reason it is not doing it.
I have to go back into the 'floss usage summery' afterward and print it to PDF format by itself so I then have 2 PDFs to send to a customer.
And another thing it does...when I do that...and then open the PDF 'floss usage summery' to look at it...it starts on the second page instead of the first.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked around in everything and can find no way to import the 'floss usage summery' PDF into the pattern PDF.
Even with version 8, the floss usage summary is separate. It seems to be a totally disjointed section.
There may be a way to put them together but it's sneaky. You can use a "pdf printer" and append one to another. I've done it with PrimoPdf. I "print" to a pdf. If I print a second section and specify the same output file, I have the option to append rather than over-write. You can do the same thing by printing the pdf of the floss summary to the pdf of the rest of the pattern and append it.
You do need to get PrimoPdf (or similar) but that's free!
One point - with the new Pro 9, you can export the floss usage to a .csv file to processing with Excel. You can use PrimoPdf to put that result to a PDF with any calculations you want to add.
