Tiled printing of image larger than paper size

Yes!!  I used Photoshop to make my patterns and the "tile large pages" was a life saver!  Now as it is gone do I have to purchase Acrobat or InDesign just so I can move the image there and print with tiled pages?? Nonesense! Why was it removed in the first place? Photoshop is a logical program to have this feature!
Those who say Photoshop never had this option just never used it that's all. I used it for years. My patterns are large but the printer is A4. Tile large pages option was how I printed them.

From what I find online, photoshop used to have options "tile full pages" and "tile imageable areas" in the print settings

I’m interested in seeing one of those online references, because I am not sure those options were ever in Photoshop. Those terms are definitely in the Print dialog box for Adobe Illustrator. However, it would be a nice feature request for Photoshop.

Apparently you can only print this way from Acrobat now?

Acrobat is one option. And it’s fast and simple. All you have to do is drag the image and drop it on the Acrobat application icon, and it opens the image. Then you just choose File > Print, click the Poster button, and tiling options appear. You could be printing in seconds (if the correct printer and paper size are already selected).

Another option is Adobe InDesign. It takes a little more time because you have to create a document first. But after that, you simply drop the image on the page, choose File > Print, and click Setup to see the Tile options.

Either way it is really no big deal, and beacuse both have automatic tiling, both are a lot easier and faster than spending the time to set it up manually in Photoshop.

The big question here is... Why would Adobe take this feature away?   I used it for tiling references for my painting to size.  Bummer.

Think not so much about size to begin with.  Think first about what you want to do and the two aspect ratios involved.  You want to cut up a 4:5 aspect ration image into tiles that have an 17:22 aspect ratio. Now do the math.   Or have Photoshop lay out the guide line for you.

or is it

The tiles must have an 8.5:11 aspect ratio.  The thing is the math may not work out nicely to print bordless 8.5" x 11" tiles.

A simple script I posted a few days ago with the action I posted will automate the tiling process.
