Tile Poster Pages

In order to get a sense of how your Project Five poster sizes up, you could print a 100% size file to the plotter. But there are other ways.

Use Illustrator or Adobe Acrobat to print your poster as tiles.

This method will print your poster full size, but it prints to letter-size or tabloid-size paper, and you can see your poster come together by taping each sheet together.

In Illustrator, follow this procedure:
  1. Print your poster
  2. In the General dialog find Scaling
    Change Scaling from Do Not Scale to Tile Full Pages
  3. Set the overlap to be approx. 0.50 to 1.00 inches so you have enough space to overlap your sheets
You can also print to tiled pages in Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro, following these instructions.
