Pepakura VIEWER is free, Pepakura DESIGNER is not. You can do anything you can with the licensed version, but unless you buy a registration key, you can't save or export your work. You can print however, so you can build your own work. And if you're smart, you can download and install a freeware pdf printer to "print" (save as) a pdf-file.
Or you can try to copy your work to the clipboard, and then paste it in a image editing program (like MS Paint) with CTRL+V (or just right click paste.
Or you can do the illegal way, dunno know what your view is about that.

You install a piece of software like pdf995 (free just with advertising pop ups every time you use it) or Cutepdf (also free if I'm not mistaken) and install it. Then, whenever you want to print something, you can choose your real printer to print to paper, or the pdf printer to print to a pdf file. Then when you click print, a "Save as..." window pops up and you save your work as a pdf file to your disk.
You can't edit it as a Pepakura pdo file anymore though. So you have to work on small parts and make sure it's how you want it, because if you find out you made a mistake, you have to do it all over again in Pepakura Designer.

You could also just put in a password taken from the internet.

Are you suggesting that Black Mage 001 use a password that he didn't pay for? For instance.. 0285-3242-3589? That's wrong and immoral. Shame on you.

Another great print-to-PDF program is PrimoPDF.
It's free, solid and no ads.

I used to use it before I started using a 64bit OS, now I'm using cute PDF. [Which has some major bitmap/gradient banding problems]

fyi, "he" can be used plurally.

I don't see how making it a plural (which it can't be) would make a difference because it still denotes a male not a female. As whether or not Black Mage 001 was a female or male was in question, not how many people are Black Mage 001, the
>>fyi i am a girl
makes more sense than your comment.

I've never heard of "he" being used as a plural.
>>63506
You are right that it still points towards male which i am clearly not by looking in a mirror, lol.

No more arguing please. just call me Black Mage 001 or BM001 for short. i will know who you are talking about.

Black Mage, I refuse to call you BM, because for two years that's one of the things people used to refer to a bowel movement.

It's starting to seem like everyone here who uses some kind of name is a female. Well, except for the one gal who doesn't fill in the name and just uses a tripcode. I'm still wondering how the hell she's gotten some of her posts to read backward. She's really gaining a wealth of information about the tips and tricks of 4chan.

He can't be used as a plural, but in a lot of other languages it's common to give something a masculine identity when the gender is uncertain. It tends to happen in English from time to time as well.

Sage just because this has nothing to do with helping Black Mage with Pepakura. If I tried to help someone with anything past the unfold option, I think I'd make their computer explode.

You're absolutely right: "he" can't be used as a plural because it most certainly is a singular form. The "he" in the post that started all this commotion should've been replaced with a real plural "they" to imply that they don't know BlackMage's gender. It may seem odd at first since this isn't used much in daily talk or even literature, because we usually know by some clues which gender the person under conversation represents. In the interweb this of course causes many misunderstandings - some female surfers even seem to get genuinely pissed at someone just because they couldn't magically guess that they're women. I must agree "fyi i am a girl" seemed a bit snappy to me as well, but knowing BlackMage's style of writing I realised it wasn't. Unfortunately some languages are still very chauvinist (e.g. in English we say "men" or "mankind" when referring to human beings), so let's not get all touchy-feely if someone referes to us as if we were guys. And yes, I'm implying that I'm a gal, too ;) One of the reasons I love my mother tongue (Finnish) is the fact that we only have one word for "he" and "she" - that way you'll never end up hurting people's feelings, and also it gives poetry and other literature great possibilities, 'cause you don't have to reveal anyone's gender if you wish the text to seem ambiguous.

What I've noticed btw, a funny thing, that in most other 4chan boards people get all "TITS OR GTFO" if someone says they're a girl, but here in /po/ it's starting to look more like "PENIS OR GTFO" when a claimed male posts something :D

Well, saged 'cause this was all just linguistic babble. ^^; Maybe I should start using a nick too, since I seem to hang around in /po/ almost every time I sit on my computer - and that's often!
