How to Plot/Export patterns to a particular pattern size?

I used the Plotter to arrange my patterns and then clicked "save image". It lets me choose the paper size I want to use and shows me how the plotted patterns would look split up across all the individual papers. But when I click save and export it, it just saves the patterns to one giant picture. It doesn't split the patterns up. I don't understand why it gives me an option to choose paper size when it doesn't take that into account at all when exporting.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to export the patterns onto individual 8.5"x11" papers so I can print out the patterns and tape them together?

Thanks.

  @kuroshida, Thanks for the question! I actually checked this internally and figured that the 2D snapshot feature doesn't really take account of the paper size when saving the image.. :( 
  What we advise you to do is to export the patterns as PDF, and print it out from Photoshop or Illustrator, if you have them :( I'm so sorry for the inconvenience...

  I have exported the patterns to PDF, but when I open the file on Photoshop all of the notches and seam allowance lines are missing. How do I fix this?

  Did you check corresponding options in the Export PDF window?  (https://support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004273427-2D-Pattern-AI-PDF-Import-Export)

  Would you be able to share the file with us via CLOSET or any cloud services of your preference?
