Today's post consists of the notes that I wrote in figuring out how to print a Burda download pattern. Ugh.

I had a lot of trouble setting this up to print correctly. But, finally got it working on my computer system and thought it might help someone. I am using a MacBook with Chrome Browser and an HP printer. I didn't have very good luck when I tried to print the file with one command, so I printed each page separately and because I didn't want to change any of my printer defaults, I had to adjust the settings for each page.

 (1) Open download in Chrome (2) Chose "Print"  from the File Menu (3) Chose Open PDF in preview (4) Chose "Print Selected Page (5) Select the page you want to Print (6) Chose Draft, US Letter, and Fill Entire Paper.

It was a slow and cumbersome project this way, but it worked.

One more note: the test square says 4 inches or 10 centimeters. It was 10, not 4.
