One of the things I like to keep in my planner are sketches. Some are my own on the included planner pages, but some of my faves are from the PageMaps site by Becky Fleck.
Becky kindly creates pages of sketches every month and has them available as PDF downloads. (there’s also an archive of previous months if you need it). Unfortunately the PDFs are 8.5×11 in size which doesn’t fit nicely into my A5 Planner.
There is a quick and easy solution, if you have a mac. It might work if you use Windows, but I never use PCs so I can’t be sure.
How to print out PageMaps for your planner:
- Cut down some A4 paper to A5, or use A5 paper.
- Put A5 paper into printer.
- Open PDF files in Adobe Reader (I’ve got version 8).
- Go to File - Page Setup.
- Change Paper Size to A5.
- Go to File - Print
- Select Shrink to Printable Area.
- Press Print.
- Hey Presto - A full sheet of sketches ready for your planner.
Of course this technique can be used for any PDF, not just PageMaps.
