Adobe Reader 6 does have a snapshot tool Margaret. You can run two versions of Adobe Reader on the same computer so there is no need to delete your other version.

Thank you for pointing that out Margaret. I use Adobe Reader 6.

On version 7 it was changed to “print multiple pages” and this gives a scaling of 50%, 25% etc. As is often the case, by making so called improvements, useful facilities are lost.

In my adobe reader I don’t get the option “tile all pages” in the page scaling box, I am using Adobe 7 Can you please tell me what version you are using?

I’ve reduced designs on a photocopier before now. I have played about with several sizes of some designs to see what fits.

Very good Jackie, well worth trying, just never thought of doing it.

I stitched 50 toppers for christmas cards, and by reducing them enables you to use up all the little bits of card you collect.
Thanks for sharing with us.

i had done this with my school craft and card club and used beads on the end of the zig-zags, i also pricked a single hole above the zigpzags and threaded a bugle bead followed by a yellow bead to mlook like candles on the tree, this pattern has so many possiblties, thanks, (have used it for 2 years )
