Large 1034 Ford
This is a pretty large pattern. It is nearly 16 inches wide and 7.5 inches tall. If you have a smaller scroll saw you may need to reduce the size of the pattern. You could also use a spiral blade but it might look a little rough. It's difficult to cut a pattern like this with a spiral because of all the straight lines.
I recommend that you use Adobe Acrobat as your default PDF viewer. With Adobe Acrobat you have easy options to scale the print size. In Acrobat, when you select print you have the options in the image below. Notice that I have the "Custom Scale" set to 75%. This setting printed this pattern at 12 inches in length. That would be easier to cut on a small saw. At 12 inches the pattern is still large enough to not lose detail.
If you do not see this dialog when you select print from the pattern then you are probably using your browsers built-in PDF viewer. They don't give the full array of print options and I do not recommend them.
