Changing size of PDF patterns

[Graff Dethera]

Hi guys,
I purchased a PDF ebook of patterns for armour. They're sized for a woman who is 5' 7" and 130 pounds. I am not 5' 7" nor am I 130 pounds and will need to adapt the size of the patterns. Does anyone have any experience on the easiest way to do this sort of thing? Thanks in advance!

Are you wanting to simply scale the whole pattern and keep proportion or change actual sizes of parts?

Depending on which version of Adobe Reader you have (it "should" be the same for most versions), you can select print, then there should be a radio button that says "Custom Scale", and by default is set to 100%. Play with that. There are other programs out there that you can convert the pdf to another format that will allow easy editing, This will allow you adjust the dimensions in both. The X and Y axis to fit you better.
