Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size (Windows) Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than
the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have
different-sized output trays.
Print posters and banners
You can print a large format document, such as a poster or banner, by splitting the page across multiple sheets of paper
(called "tiling"). The Poster option calculates how many sheets of paper are needed. You can adjust the size of the
original to best fit the paper and specify how much each "tile" overlaps. You can then piece together the tiles.
• In the Print dialog box, click Poster and then specify the tiling options.
Tile Scale Scales the pages by the amount you specify.
Overlap Determines the amount each tile overlaps adjacent tiles.
Cut Marks Adds guide marks to each page to help you trim the overlap.
Labels Adds the filename and page number on each "tile".
Tile Only Large Pages Applies tiling to pages that are larger than the selected paper size at the specified scale. These
pages are mapped to multiple sheets of paper.
Print multiple pages on a sheet
You can print more than one page of a PDF onto a single sheet of paper. Printing multiple pages per sheet is also called
n-up printing (such as 2-up or 6-up). You can specify how the pages are ordered, either horizontally across the page or
in vertical columns.
Pages Per Sheet Prints a predefined number of pages, or a custom number (up to 99), horizontally and vertically. If you
select a predefined number from the menu, Acrobat automatically selects the best paper orientation.
