Title: scroll saw keychain pattern maker?
Post by: sped1530 on June 06, 2011, 11:21:53 pm

I was wondering how hard it would be to convert your:Scroll Saw Pattern Printer update 1.1 and Scroll Saw Keychain Pattern Maker to where they produce pdf files or dxf files instead of print files?
 
Again I love your work and the folks on your blog are great.
 
Thanks
 
Dave

Dave, you can use your favourit office program with the font "mychain", which Steve included in the program:

- only small letters work, no capital letters
- a dot (".") opens the chain
- a slash ("/") closes it.
- a coma (",") adds a heart symbol
- a semicolon (";") adds a star symbol

Then you can save it as a PDF.
Also check out the font "Scrollsaw".

Torsten

Dave,
There is a freeware program to help you create PDFs easily.  It's called PrimoPDF.  The link to their site is at the bottom of this post. It is virus, malware and spyware free.  Be sure to download the free primopdf and not the trial NitroPDF.  This program will create a "printer" on your computer.  So in any program that has a print option, all you do is choose the PrimoPdf printer instead of your normal printer.  I recommend this to all of my clients, and I would use myself if I didn't own Adobe Acrobat Professional.  Please feel free to ask any questions about it nice PDF creator.  P.S. I do not get any commission/favors/assistance/hugs/etc by recommending this.  I doubt they even know I exist.
