Sewing patterns from PDF problems - help needed

I have a sewing machine and have done some curtains and bunting a few years ago.

I would lie to make a cross back (Japanese) type apron however any pattern I find online appears to be only available in PDF.

We do have a printer but it is cantankerous of more than 2 pages so I can’t summon up the energy to wrestle with that.

Does anyone know a pattern supplier who still sells paper patterns please ?

Some fabric shops sell paper patterns, but you might not find one for a cross back apron.

Do any of your friends or family have a printer they would let you use?

Unfortunately none of my close family do printing at home.

There were a few websites that do paper patterns but they were USA based so not really cost (or time) effective.

Thanks anyway I will keep looking for a solution.
