Hi, I am a retired engineer, my hobby for years has been forging knives and swords, damascus steels, etc.
I have written three books which are distributed free of charge in PDF.
I have 250+ detailed Qcad drawings of knives, machetes, axes, etc. The craftsmen ask me for the plans but I have had problems with sending them PDF exported from Qcad.
Which is the best way to do it so they can print in 1:1 scale on several A4 pages.
I use A3 format as standard but many times I have to scale up to 50% for framing.
Thank you very much
