Image too long to fit: dividing printed image into a few pages?

[VBAguy22]

hello there,
I am trying to print out an image (its actually text that some dork put into JPG instead of PDF). The image is too long to print so photoshop "fits it to page" and i get a tiny strap of text in the middle of the page
How can I divide the image into as many pages as needed to print? (the width fits fine, its just the length)

First as I'm sure you know, it's not a bunch of lines but a picture.

As a picture you can use the rectangular tool to select a portion which you can copy and paste to a new file.

Some printers can print from a roll of paper if that is what is needed.

You could use an a4 size selection of portions of the image, make new documents(A4 or letter size)then copy those portions into them. Then print as normal.
Or if it is the text that is important you could use an OCR app to recreate it as editable text(eg: Omnipage Pro, etc).

So I guess there is no way to avoid manual clipping and printing?

Do you guys know a program that can divide them up into A4 pieces?

Well yes there is if you find someone with OCR software like barehug suggests.

You scan, make manual corrections if necessary and save as a MSWord doc or whatever file types it offers.

If you have Indesign, create a new doc thst you can place your image in.

PRINT

In the print dialogue, click on 'setup' and choose your printer paper size then check the 'tile' checkbox.


Your result will be seperate sheets that can be put together as they do on large billboards.

If you haven't got an ocr app, and you keep it as an image, to make an A4 selection...

1. Create a document 21cm x 29.7cm and the SAME resolution (dpi - check the resolution in 'Image Size')as the Image to be edited.
2. ctrl+A (=select all), and then with any one of the selection tools (you should see an black arrowhead cursor when you hold the left mouse button down), drag the selection from the A4 size doc, to the one to be edited.
Done
