On this tab, you choose whether there will be a preview page at all, and in what style it will be displayed In the exported key, if a colour has had a backstitch dash pattern defined for any colour, it will appear under the colour sample in the first column instead of the normal colour sample.ĭMC 524 in this example uses backstitch defined with a pattern of 1:1 Grid shows or hides the grid in colour block mode.īackstitch line endings can be normal, blocked, or circled, using the options at the bottom of the design. Symbol % sets how large the symbols will be inside the grid.Įxample of changing the % to have more ‘white space’ around each symbol. ‘Print Page’ places the page number at the bottom of every page. ‘Border’ places a border around every page. 'Copyright' places your copyright at the bottom of each page. 'Row/Column' marks the chart with row and column numbers. 'Print Centre Marks' puts little arrows at the center lines.

The screen below is set to produce 70 x 90 squares per page. If unticked, each page will contain the number of squares shown in the Page Width and Page Height options. If you tick ‘The entire chart’, the whole design will appear on a single page.

EXPORTING WITH MACSTITCH PREM MULTIPLE TITLE PAGES PDF
The PDF options screen was redesigned at the end of 2013 to separate classes of options into a tabbed format, so that the screen is less cluttered. When printed to a sheet of A4, it will print with very finely detailed lines and symbols. A ‘high quality’ PDF has an ‘actual size’ which is very large indeed. This refers to the ‘original size’ of the symbols within the PDF. The PDF export here can be exported at ‘low/medium/high’ quality. The output is ‘squashed’ to fit the page. You can choose to put the ‘whole chart’ on a single sheet, but if you choose that option for a large design, you should expect the printed squares to be very small. If you want to create charts with symbols which are about the same size as in magazines, you should aim to create pages that have no more than 70 x 90 squares. The ‘trick’ is to ensure that when you print, you make use of the ‘fit to page’ options offered by PDF viewing software. This option allows you to create a chart that is designed for a sheet of A3, A2, or any other size. It is important to understand that unlike printing to a page, where the size is determined by your printer, a PDF file can have a ’size’ which is much larger than a sheet of A4. The other options allow you to choose how the key is built up: for instance you can choose to have the program display an estimated length, or a count of the stitches, using the checkboxes available. You can choose to have one or not, by checking the 'Key' option. You can choose from all available view styles for the output. If you choose 'None' from the selection box, no preview will appear in the PDF file. The default view mode here is 'Stitches' because this is designed to look like the final stitched work. The next section is a Preview: This allows you to have a first or second page which shows the whole design on a single page. Using the … button you can browse for that image.Īs long as the program can extract an image from the file you choose, it can be used as the cover page. You create the cover page in any tool you like, and save it as an image file (JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF…) or as a single page PDF file. The first section is a cover page: This allows you to have a first page like a book cover: maybe this contains your logo, or any other information you want to add. There are 2 ways to obtain PDF files from Stitch 2014: this option is the highest quality, and contains editable content.Ī chart exported in this way has up to 4 sections. If you need to get the best possible output quality, to send or sell charts via the internet, or to send designs to a printer, you are likely to need a PDF version of the design.
