    Any good programs/resources for making a multi page print? Basically I have an A0 drawing and I want to print it out 1:1 on my A4 Brother laser (ie lots of pages and some sticky tape). Needs to be properly 1:1. Can export in various formats. PDF is probably going to be best but lots of options (DXF, AI, JPG, and more)

    Insert the drawing as image into an Excel Spreadsheet and set the layout to 4 pages tall by 4 pages wide

    Don’t see how using Excel would produce a 1:1. Found it now in the print options for Acrobat:

    Choose File > Print.

    From the Page Scaling pop-up menu, select one of the following options:

    Tile Large Pages Tile only the pages that are larger than the paper.
    Tile All Pages Tile all the pages in the PDF file.

    There is a nice little program called Big Print, which can print anything at 1:1 – you just tell it one dimension and it will print the rest.

    Here’s an example of it in use:

    Second for rasterbator. Used to good effect several times.
