Print a coloring PDF without cutting off the edges

Match the file to the paper

Choose A4 for A4 paper or Letter for US Letter paper. The language of the story does not decide the paper size. English can be printed on either size. The two age versions also use separate files, so check the filename before opening it.

Download the PDF first and open it in a PDF reader. A web preview may add browser headers or change scaling.

Check the print dialog

Select the paper size loaded in the printer and portrait orientation. Start with one-sided, black-and-white printing. Use actual size or 100% when the whole page fits inside the printable area. If a printer clips the edges, choose the option that fits the entire page instead of filling and cropping it.

Apple’s Preview documentation distinguishes printing an entire image from filling the paper. Other print dialogs use different names, so look at the preview rather than relying on a particular label.

Print one test page

Check that the story, footer, and all outlines are visible. The QR code should remain clear; a readable text address is also provided for opening the story page. Compare the page with the on-screen PDF.

These instructions are a practical starting point. Physical paper and printer checks are still pending for this English edition; a digital preview does not prove the printed result.

If something is missing

Confirm that you opened the English file for the intended age and paper size. Try fitting the entire page if an edge is missing. If faint lines are hard to see, check ink or toner and avoid an economy setting. Print another single test page before a batch.
