Banner, Poser, and Sign Printing in Linux?

[braddock]

I often want to print a large format image on multiple sheets on a normal printer, and tape or paste the sheets of paper together to make a poster, banner, or sign.

I have never found a way to do this under Linux, except to render the page as a PNG or JPG and use ImageMagick or similar to split it into multiple graphics files (rather painful).

Ideally, there is a tool out there somewhere that does the opposite of mpage (splits one PostScript page to multiple output pages).

Does anyone know of such a tool or a reasonable solution?

I made an unfortunate type-o in the thread title...obviously I meant "Poster". *sigh*

Here's a nice thread with nearly every digital editing software of any kind known to the community:

Hopefully you can find something useful there. Personally i think you could accomplish what you want with Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/) which is in the ubuntu repos. :) You could set the page size to whatever you need and should be able to just print the design on normal sized pages with very slight adjustments to the print settings.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.
