Steps to obtain this result

1. Install a PDF printer
2. Create your cards
3. Set the page size correctly
4. Print!

Install a PDF printer.

First we download Ghostscript and FreePDF XP. You'll want the latest version of both programs.

We'll start by installing Ghostscript and when that one is finished, install FreePDF XP (you can use the default folder for both programs)

After this step is finished, go to Control Panel >> Printers and Faxes and confirm there is a new printer called FreePDF XP (this is the printer we'll be using during the resr of this HowTo)

Create your cards

Now, create your cards, or open your favorite set of pre-generated cards. Select File >> Print... Select the cards you wish to have in your PDF

Now press OK and you'll be greeted with a dialog to select the printer you want to use, DO NOT PRESS PRINT YET.

Set the page size correctly

Continue by selecting the FreePDF XP printer and pressing Preferences. A new dialog will open where you want to press the advanced... button.

Under Paper Size select the Postscript Custom Paper Size option, and a new dialog will open. (if it doesn't, press the Edit Custom Page Size button) In this dialog change the Unit selection to Inch and the width and height values to 2.50 and 3.50 respectively.

Now Press OK three times to close the dialog boxes, and to go back to the printer Selection dialog.

Print!

Now you CAN pres Print!!!

Now MSE will start creating the pages required for the PDF, which can take a while and might need a lot of space on your hard-drive during this process.

Finally FreePDF XP will ask you what quality the PDF needs to be, where to store your PDF, and how to name it.

After awnsering these questions, FreePDF XP will create the PDF containing your cards, and each card will be on a seperate page, without whitespace around your card.

Wondering why?

You might be wondering why you want to create a PDF that has each card on a seperate page, when you can also select the cards from MSE itself.

1. It'll allow you to create a full set of cards and allow the user of your set to select the cards he/she actually wants to print.
2. Some people prefer landscape pages with the cards printed in a 4x2 style, while others prefer a portrait option in a 3x3 style.
3. There are two (page) paper standards in the world A4 (used in about 95% of the world) and Letter (used in the USA and some other countries) while (standard) playing cards are all sized the same
