I'm stuck already ! I downloaded the Cutepdf printer facility and created a wordle and saved as a PDF with the print facilitiy on the site but Inkscape doesn't see the PDF. I couldn't save it as anything else except a Microsoft Document image and all I want to do at the moment is find a way of creating the words in a size that I want. At the same time why won't Inkscape see the pdf?

I always have a problem with INK and pdf...the program starts to move verrrrry slooooow. Try saving as a tif in cutepdf and then open in INK. Trace bitmap...that is what I did.

I must be missing something because I only have the option to save as type: PDF not TIFF. How do you reach that point of saving it to TIFF?

Can you open the file in Acrobat Reader or Cutepdf? I have Adobe Acrobat and I have it set to open the file after "printing" and from there I save as tif.

Will someone post some pics of what they have made with this please???

Thanks for your help AnointedHands. Finally managed to open it in Photoshop Elements and from there to jpeg or tif and finally with a lot of fiddling around, re-size it. I am sure there must be an easier way of re-sizing a pdf though for printing.

Just found the way of doing it by opening it in Word and then amending the size as I want

Amazing fantastic site - fantastic for scrapbooking - thanks

For those having Inkscape and PDF problems, make sure you have the latest version of Inkscape.

The only thing I hate about this site is that you can only do words and numbers. I would love to do flowers.

You can make a flower one in a word document, using text boxes to position other than on a line (even overlapping text boxes)
and then 'print' as a pdf using cute pdf writer.

Anyone else's words coming up um backwards?

Mine came up backwards too! I just flipped in the shape properties window and then it worked fine.
