I've got a large pdf document and wish to print it out tiled. What's out there to do it with? I'm working with this now so maybe I'll find the solution before y'all do. smile.gif

If you had the file as an image, you could try the free online Rasterbator:

The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size.

I think you can do that in TurboCad. I thought I heard you say you had that once. but try this one:

I found this in Adobe Reader's Help file:

Print a portion of a page
1) Choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool.
2) Drag around the area you want to print.
Reader copies the selected area to the clipboard.
3) Choose File > Print to print the selection.

I don't know if it'll work for you, or how tricky it'll be, but it doesn't require any additional software.

Does anyone know of a free working pdf creator (or printer) program? I have found the need to use this many times but i dont want to pay acrobats outrageous licensing fee.

PDF995 will allow you to create a PDF from any electronic file. It's free to use, non-commercially, barring a nag screen. You can then print from the Adobe Reader, if you want.
I've used it many time to create PDFs of HTML files, Word documents, images and such.
