Printer Large Images Over Several Pages?
I have a pdf file roughly 34" x 23" which I would like to print in
several bits to put together later. Adobe Reader only seems to have options for printing either the centre or top left or reducing the size to fit the whole thing on one page. I just tried downloading FinePrint and I couldn't find an option on that to do it either? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? (The printer is a Canon CLC-950 A3/11"x17") I can't find a way to do it with my Xerox Phaser 8200 A4/11/12x8 either. -- Timothy |

Anything that won't fit on that page is either thrown away or the document is shrunk to fit, unless you have a program that can span several pages. Jon's Qimage suggestion sounds like a good idea. Another approach might be to copy the image and paste it into a vector-graphics program such as Adobe Illustrator, ClarisDraw or the Draw mode of ClarisWorks. Such a program lets you define a document workspace in terms of multiple pages. Once the image is pasted into the document it becomes an "object". It can be shrunk or expanded to any exact size you want. Of course, its resolution will become obvious if you expand it too far, so you want to paste in the largest (most pixels) image you can. When shrinking or expanding, hold down the shift key to constrain the image's length-to-width ratio. Some vector-graphics programs may be able to open .pdf files directly. Fred |
