Set up a PDF chart for stitch tracking

Align the grid over your cross-stitch chart before relying on individual-cell marks.

  1. Open the chart page

    Open your PDF and select the page containing the stitch grid.

  2. Open the grid controls

    Choose More actions → Project → Page grid.

  3. Align the grid

    Try Find grid automatically. If needed, use Adjust grid manually → Select grid bounds, select the outer chart-grid bounds and set Columns and Rows.

    Inspect and align the PDF grid

    Grid inspection only; saving is not shown.

    Recorded in a development build in the iPhone simulator.

  4. Check several places

    Zoom into the edges and interior lines. Only choose The grid matches the chart when the cells line up across the chart.

  5. Save and test

    Choose Save, mark one completed cell and compare its position with the original PDF.
