Hello,

I designed the board for my game as a pdf-file.

Does anyone know, how I can print that in large scale? (I have both, Suse Linux and Windows XP.)

My pdf-file is A1 and I would like to split it into A4 pages.

If I could convert the pdf to eps, then I could use the program "poster", but I do not have an pdf-to-eps converter. Is there a free one?

Thank you very much for help!

Hi,

I didn't think that I would find a solution myself so quickly.

To those who might be interested:

I opened the pdf-file with the GNU program GIMP ( www.gimp.org ) and saved it as an eps-file. Then I typed:

poster -v -mA4 -pA1 picture.eps > outputfile.ps

For Linux the program poster can be find here: www.tuxfinder.com
To use it with Windows, one needs to install cygwin ( www.cygwin.com ) first (a Linux environment for Windows).

I think Ghostscript converts.
