In a very grey past my father worked for IBM, and as kids we had stacks of old green zebra paper to play with, a tiny sample is attached as "zebra.tif" [1], it's zebra-in-zebra. I later, in the mind 1980'ies I started using it to make small forms to keep my hitchhike notes on, see @temp/t001-all.jpg> and @temp/t001-lift.jpg>, and have been doing so for the past 4+ decades.
Problem now?
I've run out of usable zebra paper, so I decided to see what I could do with Inkscape, and that seems to have worked really well. I created the initial file using Inkscape (just two zebra's) from a hires (2400 dpi) scan to actually count pixels, and then just used a normal editor and samples found here, there, and everywhere on the net, to fine-tune it into the attached "zebra.svg" [2], which, converted to PDF should print an 8.5 inch x 42cm centered on an A3 sheet of paper.
But...
If I open the resulting PDF in Adobe Reader, and select print (which I cannot do myself, as I don't have a A3 printer), it shows up very tiny centered in a page, and if I select "Fit", is seems from just looking at it that it's much to wide, which may just be optical, but is it?
The sizes I use, width="9921" and height="7015" are 42 cm and 8.5" converted to 600 dpi, but do I need to do something more to actually export the file to a PDF that displays the right way (A3) without clicking "Fit" - the reason is that I would like to add a two more sideways pieces of zebra "paper" by shifting the now central row a bit to the top (or bottom)
zebra.tif & zebra.svg to be found @ https://prino.neocities.org / @temp / filenames as in the above!
How the flipping 'ell do you add attachments, and why is my website truncated????
