Any way to print Joe's plans on letter paper to tape together to get the large page sizes he uses?

It may be easier to have a local Kinkos print large designs on one of their large-format printers...

Good thought, Dan, but Kinko's is more than a 100 miles from me. I live in the boonies. I was hoping for some free/cheap software to break up the page size to fit on letter size paper and then I could tape them together.

I'm pretty sure Acrobat can split between pages, just set the zoom percentage in the print screen. I'll take a look...

Thanks, Andy, but it doesn't handle pdf files. Neither does Paint, which also works on image files. How can one convert a pdf file into an image file, like jpg, etc?

Checj on the Shopbot forum You may be able to find some one that has a plotter pin for their bot that could plot it out full size. I can plot out 48 x 96 on mine but only have 27 inch wide news print so I can plot 27x 96.
Big Print seemed like a cool program. Wont run on 64bit win 7 however.
Kinkos/Fedex office will deliver the prints to you when you print online.
Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.
have you thought to ask on joes forum, my hope is you joined and paid for the plans

Carol, if you want to email me your files I will get them printed here (if you want your water mark on them otherwise I can do mine for you) and put them in the box with the carriages when I send them out next week to you. 11X17 is the cheapest LARGE print Kinkos will do at $.75 a page.

I've never used it, but could you use the tile function in Corel? Inkscape is free and may have a tile function as well.
