Default A li'l aid, if y' please...

I've got a fair fistful o' plans I've D/L'd, and a boatload of 'em are pdf's. I've tried several diff'rent tools to print 'em full-size w/o much success. Tile Print won't read pdf's and the Tile tool in Acrobat doesn't seem t' work. Anybody got ANY ideas?

Actually RD, Tile Print DOES indeed read PDF files: http://www.blackflight.com/tileprint/
Perhaps you have an older version.

The "Tile Print" I've got, a) isn't BlackFlight's, an' B) refuses t' even load a pdf. I'd get theirs, but I'm on a tight fiscal leash right now. Anybody that knows of ANYthing that'll accomplish my purpose is welcome t' contact me at [email protected] .
Tnx!

RD, It sounds like you have a truly inferior product! I think you will like BlackFlight's Tile Print as it will do exactly what you want and because it is under $16.00 is not expensive at all. I understand the tight monetary times we are all facing. If you go back and look you can download a free trial version that you can play with untill you can afford the price.
I have had Tile Print for several years and it pleases me mostly because of its ease of use. Even I can use it!

BL,
I'd tho't o' that, but a) it's jus' a bit less than honest, an' b) I'm pretty sure they'll KEEP y' honest w/a big ol' watermark or blank holes in th' printout or some such.
There really oughtta be a freeware of some kind that'll do th' trick. I've already tried a couple, jus' couldn't find ont that'd work for me.

How about converting your pdf file to something your current program can read or is compatible with?

Here's a free online file converter. Just follow the directions, it's easy.

Good luck.
