Printing a long Series

Matt_W · 10 October 2011 02:41

Is there any way to split a 30 race series so that it will print on two pages? It gets pretty small even when printing it on landscape.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Yes this is possible. There are some programs that you can purchase to do this but a simple and free of charge solution is:-

You need
1) A pdf Printer - PrimoPDF is free and works well
2) Adobe Reader X - This is also free.

Configure the paper size of the pdf Printer to be the size of paper you would ideally be printing to A3 or A2.

Publish to your Browser and print it to the pdf Printer

Open the pdf file with the Adobe reader Version X (It must be version X - 9 does not support tiling)

Print the file from adobe reader but in the page scaling box select tile all pages. You can even select cut marks and vary the overlap of the pages

Stick the pages together and there you have it.

Regards

Jon

Jon,
I still didn’t get this to work because when i print to PDF it cuts off many of the last races.

here is the page i am trying to print: http://results.sailwave.com/2011%20JCSS%20Season%20Championship.htm

My PDF is attached.

Do you see anything I am missing?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

What browser did you use? Attached is my PDF created from your web page using Chrome

If I print it then, using the tiling feature (zoom set to 123%) it prints it on to 4 pages

Try with My PDF

Hi Matt,

I thought after posting the previous post I could attach the xps file for you.

So please find attached Demo.xps which you should be able to print on 4 pages

Regards

Jon
