Title: How to Combine a Tiled PDF plan to print on a single sheet
Post by: Akshayb on March 07, 2011, 02:29:11 PM
I wonder if any body knows how to print a tiled PDF plan on a single piece of paper.

You can do it on Photoshop  or Adobe Acrobat (not Reader). why dont you get the single page file ? Most of the people putting the tiled plane put the single page one as well.
There is 'Jumbo' Printer on the left lane jsut before Jaydeva crossing (coming from Bhansankari  towards BTM) uin Bangalore. They prints MAP and Blue prints and can print the plan of  A1 and A0 sizes - Rs 65-75. Be careful about the scale and get a PDF is you have DXF plan.

Thanks Ujjwaana for reply,  I was trying to build Superslo 28" and I can only find Tiled plan in full scale (joining tiled plan is a big trouble for me) and full plan is given on a A-4 size so I tried to enlarge it with a graphic software (CD), but lines lost their curves in this process. but I still gone ahead taken a print(at the same place you have mentioned), made templates out of it and cut the foam, after cutting foam I realised that shape of parts is not proper.

So I was thinking of joining all the tiles to take prints on a single sheet.
(Believe you are feeling well now)

All the Best

I have even put together few Plans on A4 sheet together with Glue Stick. With a 1-feet metal scale in hand, its a 30min-1hr job.
You should not simply 'enlarge' plans where there are notches, slots and guide. These are

according to prescribed Foam thickness (6mm/5mm et all). If you simply enlarge/reduce, you have to take special care of these areas.

Printed tiled plan of Superslo 28" today and glued it, while doing so I realised, Same time or more, I might have spend on putting the pdf pages together in software and again spent more time braving Bangalore's traffic to get it printed.

So, tiles are fixed, shall go for templates tomorrow.

Just hoping I am doing it properly.

Thanks Ujjwaana.
