To properly view the PDF pattern with layers, it’s necessary to have Adobe Reader installed on a PC or Mac. Save the PDF pattern to your computer.

Browser, mobile, or tablet versions of Adobe Reader cannot display layers. Ensure you download and open the file using the PC or Mac version of Adobe Reader.

Adobe Reader can be found here.

Step 1: Download and Install Adobe PDF Reader.
Make sure you have Adobe PDF Reader installed on your computer. You can download it for free from the official Adobe website.

Step 2: Download the PDF Pattern.
Download the PDF pattern file containing different dress sizes from the Timeless Templates/Etsy. Save it to a location on your computer that is easy to access.

Step 3: Open the PDF Pattern in Adobe PDF Reader.
Double-click on the saved PDF pattern file. Adobe PDF Reader should open automatically. If not, right-click on the file, choose “Open with,” and select Adobe PDF Reader.

Step 4: Locate the Layers Panel.
Look for the Layers panel in Adobe PDF Reader. You can usually find it on the left side of the screen. If you don’t see it, go to the “View” menu and select “Show/Hide,” then choose “Navigation Panes” and click on “Layers.”

Step 5: Identify the Dress/Corset/Pattern Size Layers.
In the Layers panel, you’ll see a list of layers. Each layer corresponds to a different dress size. Find the layers that represent the specific pattern size you want to print. They are labelled and organized to make it clear which layer corresponds to each size.

Step 6: Hide Unwanted Layers.
To show only the specific pattern size you want, hide the layers that are not needed. Click on the eye icon next to each unwanted layer to hide it. The eye icon indicates the visibility of the layer. When the eye is crossed out, the layer is hidden.

Step 7: Print the Document.
Now that you have a PDF with only the selected dress size, open the modified file and go to the “File” menu again. This time, choose “Print.” Adjust print settings, such as paper size and orientation, and click “Print” to print your pattern.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully used the layer function in Adobe PDF Reader to isolate and print a specific dress size from a multi-size PDF pattern.

The pattern grid is designed to print on EITHER USA letter or European A4-sized paper with no adjustment needed by yourself. 
Any weight paper will do, packs of 75 gram are good as they can be bought very cheaply.  

The most common printer error is that the alignment grid is cut off along one edge.
To solve this, firstly you need to make sure the printer is set to auto-rotate centre or centred.
Different printers may vary how they say it but the printer will have an option to centre the image to be printed. 

If you download a file and can only see the first page, it likely indicates that you’re viewing it in a web browser.

Look for the download symbol, typically located in the top right corner of the viewing window, often next to the print icon. Download the file and save it. Then, reopen the saved file, and you should be able to view all the pages.

Make sure to save the file to your PC or device and reopen it using Adobe PDF Reader or any other PDF reader for proper viewing.
