PDF Information
 PATTERNS IN PDF FORMAT
What is
a PDF?
PDF
stands for "Portable Document File." A pattern in the PDF file format can be opened by any computer using
Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is a FREE tool for opening and reading PDF files (see yellow link below).
Once Reader has been installed on your machine, you can click on any PDF file
and it will pop open and show you the file. Then you can print the file if you
choose.
Please note that only a small number of Paper Panache patterns are available in this format, and
they are clearly marked "PDF."
At this time PDF patterns are sent by email, along with a password. You download them to your computer and print them out yourself
onto any foundation you desire. You then keep this copy of the PDF on your machine for future printing.
IMPORTANT: You must
supply a working email address to receive PDFs.

What is a PDF Print-Out
Pattern?
Some people do not want to deal with PDFs and
would much rather have a printed pattern. Paper Panache offers PDF Print Outs which are printed straight
from a PDF. You receive a printed master copy, all instructions, foundations,
and usually a photo cover. It is delivered by the U.S. mail like other printed
patterns.
Some PDF patterns are available as "PDF Print-Outs." Print-Outs are an option for those who prefer
paper patterns.
Print-outs have been printed directly from a PDF pattern, so the format is a little bit
different than the
normal individual patterns. Print-outs are sent via the U.S. mail like the
other paper patterns.

Troubleshooting PDF/Reader problems:
Things to check or try:
--Make sure Acrobat Reader has been installed on your machine. Being "present"
does not mean it has been installed.
--Get the latest version of Acrobat Reader from adobe.com. Although my PDFs
are saved in the 4.0 format, many people have found that a fresh copy of the Reader
clears up old problems.
