 |
|
| I have an image 23x16 inches that I need to print across multiple 11x8.5 sheets. I'm told there is a way to do this, but I can't find it. |

You're not the only one. i've got one that's 60 in. x 20 in.! and all i can get from Draw is the first page...
Someone else suggested Rasterbator, but i can't print the resulting pdf for some reason or another.
Is getting a program to print across multiple pages that difficult?
So, have a great evening!

I haven't tested it with a production version, but using 2.2.1rc3 on Windows XP, I get output on multiple pages.
I guess you should look for poster/banner functions in your printer setup first. (Printer properties in the print dialog if you're using MS Windows) You may get alignment guides.
Otherwise, select Options in the print dialog (or in Tools - Options menu, select Draw - Print) At the page options, select "Tile pages". When printing an oversized document, you'll get a warning, and the option to resize, print to multiple pages, or trim. |
