100%, not fit to page

Written here, not printed from the page

The site assembles the PDF itself. The rules and the dates go in as drawing instructions and text, and the page box is declared at whatever paper you picked on the bench. That is the difference between this and printing a web page to PDF: no browser header, no footer, no address across the top and no margin invented on your behalf.

One sheet is one page. Nothing is uploaded in order to make it, nothing is kept afterwards, and there is no step where you hand over an address to receive it.

Because the drawing is vector rather than pixels, the lines stay clean at any size a machine asks of them: a photocopier enlarging the sheet, or a print shop putting it on a bigger stock, has proper edges to work from. It is set in black and greys with no picture embedded, which keeps the file small.

Printing it

A4 is 210 × 297 mm; Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches, which is wider and shorter. That difference is the one thing to settle before you take the file: a sheet drawn for A4 and printed on Letter gets scaled by the driver to fit and stops being the size it claims. Set the paper on the bench first.

Then ask for 100%, or actual size. Anything offered as fit to page or shrink oversized pages will resize the sheet by a few per cent. The drawing already leaves its own margin inside the page box, so there is room for a printer’s unprintable edge without the grid being touched.
