[Scribus] Tile Printing

[unknown]

I need to print a chart about 30 inches wide by 17 inches tall. I have
access to a windows printer that can print on 11x17inch paper.
The windows computer has Acrobat Reader installed but I don't think it can
tile print. It also has photoshop and Quark.
How can I use Scribus to tile print my chart on 3 11x17 sheets?

Thanks,
Wayne

I just encountered an issue that I couldn't find a solution for. How does one
enter a non breaking space and a non breaking hyphen? I think I stumbled
upon a non breaking hyphen in the Extras|Insert Special menu, but it wasn't
clear that this is what I was selecting.

Also, I created a template a while ago and have found that I need to add some
styles to it. I can't find a way to edit the template and make the
additions. I have a document that has the additional styles, but how do I
get them into my template?

FWIW, I'm still using V1.2, Build 28.

Thanks for the help.

I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but... This
morning I upgraded from version 1.2.2.1 to version 1.3.0. I'm just
now starting to explore 1.3.0, and I've noticed that there are
convenient menu items for inserting non-breaking dashes and spaces:

Insert -> Character -> Non Breaking Dash

Insert -> Character -> Non Breaking Space


Good luck,

I found that the latest 1.3.1cvs can let you have 3-fold page document
with 3 pages side by side when you set the page margin to zero. So I
think you can span your chart over the 3 pages and then print it out,
provided that your printer can handle zero-margin printing.

The printer is hooked up to a Windows computer. Scribus doesn't run on it.
I need to export from Scribus then run some program on the Windows machine
to get a tile printout.

Does Acrobat Reader support tile printing? It didn't the last time I
checked.

Since scribus has layouted the 3 pages, I don't thank acrobat reader
will have problem with it. I think you have to check out youself. :)

Hello,

I print A3 posters on A4 paper using the following method:

a) export as eps (!!!) from scribus
b) type:

bash-2.05b$ poster -iA3 -mA4 -pA3 poster.eps > result.ps
bash-2.05b$ lp result.ps

(on linux)

Should work for your case, too.

The reason I asked is that when I did 'man poster' I got nothing. Is it
part of some other package. I have psutils, so it must not be in there.

Fair enough. I think it's a script which uses ghostview. You don't have anything like poster on your distro cds?

On Debian just do 'apt-get install poster'. Otherwise, you can get the
source at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/5682/poster.html. I
don't think it needs Ghostscript or Ghostview. According to the web site
it runs on Windows too, but I've never tried that.

I'm using FC4, and 'yum install poster' couldn't find it (and my yum
repos include fedora extras and livna).
Did find the website. Thanks.
