When I try to enlarge a pdf by 200% only a portion of the page prints.  Is there something else I need to check other than the size of print?  This is a quilting pattern and I need it to be accurate.  Thank you.

Does the entire pattern fit on the one piece of paper at 200%?

If not, then try using Adobe Reader DC to print the content in Poster format.

 

If the print won't fit on the one selected paper size (in Properties), the output will be "tiled" onto as many sheets as needed.

You can print all the "sections" or just print one section.

The print output size is controlled by the size of the "Tile" ( for example, 200% )

 

Example - Adobe Reader DC - Poster Print - Menu options

Note:  The first example shows a PDF file for a house design, the concept is the same for a pattern or other PDF file.
