    How do I print a high resolution pdf file?

    I have a pdf document that's only one page but it contains a lot of text and tiny drawings. If I print it out on one page the text would be too small to read. How do I divide it into multiple pages and "zoom in" so that the text is readable?

    If the PDF is not "Watch only" like a image or something, you could tell Evince to "Select text" and copy-paste it to LibreOffice then format it how you want it to look.

    shouldnt the printer dialog have options for tiling pages? if there's nothing in there, perhaps adobe reader will have the options you need. i know it isn't ideal as its closed source, but it could provide extra printing dialogs. i know the windows version of adobe reader allows you to tile documents over multiple sheets.

    How do you do that in windows version? Does it really blow up the text?

    If all else fails you could paste the text in a text editor (open office for example):

    As for the images:
    1. Zoom in on the pdf until the images are large enough.
    2. Hit printscreen.
    3. Add them to the open office document.
    4. Choose a layout as you see fit.

    If you are satisfied with the layout, print the open office document to a .pdf printer. Then print the .pdf to your inkjet/ laserjet.
