Hi Bill, Do you need some kind of automated page/feature indexing? If so, then we'd love to know of some tool that does that! But if not, then maybe this will help? : We usually provide PDF maps, so we print the maps to an Adobe Distiller printer (really just a print driver). Once you've gotten this working fine (which I know has been discussed in many other postings, is explained in the Adobe Acrobat documentation, and was not really your question), then all you have to do it set the page size to be 8.5x11 (or some other "grid size") and when you print large maps (e.g. 6'x4'), they are automatically gridded into several pages. I'd be happy to send you a sample output to make sure this is what you are seeking. One caution - although we don't know why, creating these "booklet" PDFs take about 10 times as long as if you set the page size to 6'x4' so it can be painful if there are many features (like street maps).

Does anyone know if there's any tools out there that can automatically divide a regional map up into a grid of smaller regions for printing map books (like the street map books)? -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 http://www.gisnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 7486 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 7504 ###################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned and cleared by MailMarshal ###################################################################### ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message and accompanying data may contain information that is confidential and subject to legal privilege.
