Tried to make a A4 > A1 poster with PStill and it just came out as the same size as original (A4).

I did the Cmd-T tiling option and set it up -- all looked fine -- but the output didn't work. Tried several times with slightly different settings.

Any suggestions? (I used the free utility Tiler in the finish because I had to get the job out)

So, first you must pass any PDF through PSTill, and then tile that. It must be only one page, send it to me so I can see what's going on...

Aha! Was trying to tile the original system pdf. Now I know.

Have been having some difficulties making pdfs via Print menu and PStill -- getting offsets. So I generally make them via the MacOS.

Presumably if I was successful in making the pdf in PStikll in the first place, then it would tile OK?

Thanks for the quick reply -- this is such a good community

Exactly - it must have gone through PStill at least once - so if that's how it was created, that extra step is not needed.
