How to use a PDF file in Cricut design space
Posted on 25th February 2018
1- Open Cricut design space and click on new project.
2- We need to convert the PDF to a usable file in CDS so the easiest way is to use a PDF converter.
I am using PDF converter. Click on upload documents.
3- A new window will open. find your PDF and open.
4- You will see your file getting converted.
5- Download the new file. it will appear as a zipped file. Unzip the file.
6- Go back to CDS and click on upload.
7- Select upload images.
8- Click on browse.
9- Select the converted PDF.
10- The file will appear in your upload image screen. you will see that even though you have converted to a PNG there is still white around your images. IF we cut at this point all we would have is a large rectangle.
I am using Valentine doodle clipart from designbundles.net.
11- We need to remove the white parts so click on complex and then continue.
12- Click on the magic wand. Then click the white area.
13- All the white will be removed.
14- You can also use the eraser tool to remove any extra pieces you do not need. Once you are happy click on preview.
15- Check the silhouettes each one will be a cut line. Click continue.
16- Select print and cut and save.
17- Your file will be now in your library. select it and insert.
