How do I save a file (pattern) as a pdf ?

What program are you using to create or view the pattern?
Do you know the format to the pattern?
Are you a windows user?

Hi Judy
The way I would do it is to print to a PDF printer. Corel doesn't have a save to PDF like Inkscape.
I use Primopdf.
Free at
http://www.primopdf.com/ (http://www.primopdf.com/)
Down load and install.
They in Paintshop say print.
When it asks you for the printer you wish to use select PrimoPDF and it will save in the directory you specify.
These are pages that I posted elsewhere just forget the issue of selecting the flash drive unless that is what you want.

I use Corel 5 and to get a PDF use the export feature. once the export screen comes up select PDF as file type. When the next screen comes up I just leave it the way it is and save. I just use plain export not the other options.

If you use inksacpe, save your pattern as .png in corel import it into inkscape and then save as .pdf

Billy! Thank you so much. That was simple enough for me to figure out. Tried a test and it works great! Thank you again. I use Corel drawx5 and didn't really want to drop any more programs into this old crank up computer.

You're welcome Judy. I understand fully My wife refers to my computer as the dinosour. Every time we get a sale paper she points out the computers on sale. Mine still does what I want it to so I am happy. (PS I may need to borrow the crank sometime)
