Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader to print tiled posters?
No! Adobe Acrobat Pro requires an expensive monthly subscription, and Acrobat Reader's 'Poster' feature often crops arbitrarily without customizable overlap margins or previewing. TileStencil generates a standard multi-page PDF with built-in cut marks and overlaps that prints perfectly from ANY browser or printer without Adobe software.
How do I make sure the pages print at exact size without Adobe?
In your default print dialog (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Mac Preview), simply uncheck 'Fit to Page' and select 'Actual Size' or 'Scale: 100%'. TileStencil calculates all geometric tile strides in advance, so each page is already calibrated in millimeters.
Can TileStencil tile print CAD drawings, patterns, and schematics?
Yes! TileStencil is widely used for woodworking schematics, sewing patterns, stained glass line art, and Cosplay EVA foam armor templates that require strict 1:1 millimeter physical accuracy.
