RE: printing a very long-line files with openoffice using letter pages
the poster util is what you want /usr/ports/print/poster POSTER(1) POSTER(1) NAME poster - Scale and tile a postscript image to print on multiple pages SYNOPSIS poster options infile DESCRIPTION Poster can be used to create a large poster by building it from multi- ple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a generic (encapsulated) postscript file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a postscript file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster. The output pages bear cutmarks and have slightly overlapping images for easier assembling. The input pic- ture will be scaled to obtain the desired size. cheers mjt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Kline Sent: Thursday, 31 May 2007 3:47 PM To: FreeBSD Mailing List Subject: printing a very long-line files with openoffice using letter pages People, I have in mind putting, say 6, 8.5x11-inch pages to create a Large page 25.5x11 on which something would be printed.
