Hello

I am making a poster using sciposter package. I am generating a pdf file
of a0 size. I need to split this file in a few files of a4 size, like a
puzzle, in order to print each small file in a4 paper and then mount the
poster at the end. I will appreciate very much any help!


Regards

Marcelo

Although not with sciposter, I did the job with poster(1):

pdf2ps yourfile.pdf yourfile.ps

poster -v -s1 yourfile.ps > outfile

The manpage gives also some tips for mounting the whole thing, as I
discover now. But it was quite a torture when I did it.

Best wishes

Richard
