Poster printing is easy when you have the right tools --

What you can do depends on:

• Your printer model
• The Operating System / version running on your device
• The device - computer, tablet, phone
• The applications and software available on the device

------------------------------------------------------------------

>>> The following is relevant to supported versions of Windows and PDF content  <<<

Tools

• A supported printer model for which there is a full driver and that can print to standard margins
• Installed full driver printer software - this provides the foundation for the task and access to the full range of Printing Preferences
• Adobe Reader software

How to Make Your Own Posters Using Tiled Printing

Tiled printing is when you print out a large image over several pieces of paper, with each piece of paper acting as a “tile,” hence the name. From there, you line up the tiles to form a grid, thus creating your huge wall poster.

 Print PDF - Size or Poster

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the Print icon

Open Properties

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

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

Next,

Main print menu

Page Sizing & Handling

If printing at 100% or smaller, and the content fits on the paper, Page Sizing & Handling = Size

Then select Actual, Fit / Shrink to fit, percentage (wording varies)

OR

If printing “larger than 100%”, or the content size requires it, Page Sizing & Handling = Poster

Poster Printing - Notes

• If the page size is equal to or smaller than the paper size and you want the output 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
