Always save your downloads to your computer where you can find them easily. Make sure you select "MY DOCUMENTS" or "MY PICTURES" as the file destination, to avoid files being saved to a temporary file folder where they can easily be deleted or hard to find when you look for them.

POLKA DOT PRINT HELP WITH PDF FILES:

This is the easiest and quickest way to print.

Open the PDF document from your saved files.

On the PDF document, use the + function at the top and zoom in to 200%. PDF files are known to loose some print quality, we do this to increase or restore the print quality to the original. This is especially helpful when you use the snapshot tool to take images in the PDF file to another program.

Printer settings and margins often cause the templates to print WITH A PAPER MARGIN. When you print motives on paper or on adhesive labels, you may want to avoid this.

Follow these easy steps in any word processing program to ensure that your polka dots print from one corner of the page to the other without any print margins. For this tutorial we will use Microsoft Word and an HP printer:

Open up a blank page in Microsoft Word.

Move all four page margins to zero by holding in the left mouse button and dragging the full margins to zero.

Select "INSERT" in the top navigation column, then "PICTURE".

Select the saved polka dot PNG file of your choice.

The polka dot template should now fill the entire page. If not, check that all page margins are on zero. Left click on the corner or the template and drag the template image towards the page corner where a margin or gap is visible on the page.
