How to print a poster

[karenspeis]

I have an HP ENVY series 5540.  I want to enlarge a document in settings so it will print in a puzzle like (each piece being 8 1/2 X11)  in order to put together and create a poster.  I have looked in settings and cannot find how to do this.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

You need an appropriate software program or application that runs in your Operating System / version (not provided).

The following is an example.

Example content is based on 

• Recent, supported version of Windows
• Having installed the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.
• An updated installed software > Adobe Reader DC 

Print PDF - Size or Poster

Print PDF in Adobe Reader DC 

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the Print icon

Open Properties

Set Shortcut to Everyday Printing or similar (Plain paper printing, single sided)

Select your Paper Size

Click OK to save change(s) and Exit the Properties menu

Main print menu

If printing at 100% or smaller, Page Sizing & Handling = Actual, Fit / Shrink to fit, percentage (wording varies)

OR

If printing “larger than 100%”, Page Sizing & Handling > Poster

Poster Printing - Notes

• If the file is smaller than the paper size and you need it larger, increase the Tile Size
• If the file is already larger than the paper size, it will be divided into Tiled sheets needed to print the file
• Enter an "overlap" and whether you want the "cut marks" included

When ready, click to Print

Example 1 - Adobe Reader DC > Print menu > Tile / Poster - Initial Check / Test

PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_1

Example 2 - Adobe Reader DC - Print Menu > Poster

PDF_Document_Poster_3

Example 3 - Adobe Reader DC - Print Menu > Poster - CAD Drawing and select section sample

PDF_Document_Poster_CAD_2
