Tiling a cad drawing

[tstanfill]

I have some plans that are big in size and i want to print them tiled on regular paper and tape them together. I don't want to scale them down any and i have acrobat 7 and there is no option to tile.

What do I do?

I have the trail version of Acrobat 7.0 Professional and there is a Tile large pages option in Page Scaling - under Paper Handling. Once selected, it brings up additional options.

Acrobat 6 Reader also has this option

Most well equipped Kinkos type stores or Cad printing services can print C, D, etc sizes. Is that an option for you?

Also try Turbocad (free versions exist) which is Autocad compatible. I choose what standard size C, D, etc. I want to print and all the pages are shown as a tile layout for the source paper I can print (such as 8.5 x 11 paper).

It works very well. I then tape them up. I have results at least 3 feet x 4 feet myself. Larger is possible.

Good luck, Dave

Im using Acrobat 6 Pro, and same as BenRow.. in the page scaling pull down on the print dialog box there is Tiling options. If your using Reader you might be SOL. I think with Acrobat reader you can only Fit to page and Reduce Large Pages.

If your using an older full version Acrobat without the tiling options you might be able to get away using the Demo for the plugin CrackerJack.

Depending on what the trial version limitations are, you might be able print your drawing.
