That's an interesting proposal & just might work - have you tried it?
One problem that I see is inserting a pdf into the frame; I've not had
much luck with inserting a PDF in the past... I'll try with 2.2 and see
what happens.

I'm still looking for a solution for web kracked as I thing that this
would indeed be a helpful feature (to be able to print to tiles, similar
to being able to print to brochure mode). I did manage to find a linux
program that does an excellent job of printing images to poster tiled
images:

I tried it today and it works great! Of course in the end you'd probably
spend just as much in printing this way for the following reasons:

1. You need good photo quality paper to print on.
2. You need a good printer (I do) & ink will end up costing a bunch.
3. You need some good cardboard posterboard stock to mount the prints on.
4. You need a really good paper cutter (or patience with a box cutter)
to trim the 4-8 sections.
5. You need to either be very good at gluing all those photo sections
onto the posterboard, or need to buy a poster frame to put them in.

In the end, it really might be better to head off to a Staples, Target,
Walgreens, etc., and just have them print for you.
