Technically you can resize PDF's with any basic photo or file editor without reducing the quality, but you will want to keep the width:height ratio the same so it doesn't get distorted.<br /><br />-JasonDear Lilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916503973078592801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-71560759916392588572017-03-03T10:18:44.892-05:002017-03-03T10:18:44.892-05:00Can I possible have it printed and mounted at Stap...Can I possible have it printed and mounted at Staples?

My Staples also said they have been told my corporate not to print downloads like this as engineering prints because of the way it turns out. The actual artwork by Dear Lillie is gorgeous.

And I have to say it didn't look good. We ended up spending the extra $25 to have it printed out like a poster. Engineer prints were designed for blue prints, and too much toner is used, which they don't like to do, as was expressed to us today, as well as the print coming out full of white lines. I will say that I am very happy with out it is now though, and will purchase more downloads in the future. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16338356760276713041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927526976748945841.post-87005401685714583272016-01-30T14:02:29.550-05:002016-01-30T14:02:29.550-05:00Hi!
