Big image on Indesign 1

[Zappi]

I want to create a document that is 4.8 meters x 10,8 meters (it's for a big poster that is to be printed on a and placed on a house wall.

My problem is that Indesing just accepts a document that is 4.8 wide and 5.6 meters high.

Is there anyway around this?


Greatful for all the help I can get.

Just my opinion, but I only use Illustrator for large format printing like posters. I have occasionally used photoshop as well. When I contact the print shops I use, they all prefer Illustrator files.

Pixelchik,

Thank's!

Opened the file in Illustrator and there was no problem.

I work for a large format printer and set all my large pieces up at 1/4, 1/8 or 1/10 size (whatever is easiest to figure out).

I just let the guys who are printing it know that they have to enlarge the final product.

I usually also scale the image to correspond - i.e. at 1/4 size, if the final resolution is to be 125 dpi, I scale the image to 1/4 size with a resolution of 500 dpi. Or, you can leave it full size, place it and reduce it in InDesign

A smaller page size makes it faster to make a pdf for emailing or to run a small proof. Just remember to scale the bleed as well - you should check with the printer to find out how much bleed he will need at the final size.
