Creating large single page pdfs

Community Beginner ,
Mar 10, 2018 Mar 10, 2018

I want to save some charts family tree charts that are 5.5 m long and 350 mm high
after scaling them down. If I save them to pdf using the family history program
pdf printer they will go onto 2 pages as the in-built pdf printer only supports
pages up to about 3.2 m. I will not be printing the charts myself but need the
files as a single page pdf in order to send them to chart printers. Does Adobe Pro support 5.5 m pages

You can subscribe to it for a month and use it as much as you need, and then cancel the subscription if it doesn't work for you.

Thanks, I can get my chart down to less than 5.0 m but is that size allowing for printing margins. In other words will it give a 5.0 m width of printed chart on a 5.1 long piece of paper or is the total page width including margins limited to 5.04 m.

Before I spend money on Acrobat I need to be absolutely sure it will do what I need. I cannot use the free trial as I tried it once about a year ago to see if it would do something else, so it will not allow another free trial

I know it is available for a month but I may have other things it could be useful for such as combining files and would perhaps want it for 1 year. If it does not do these charts I would find another way of combing my documents.

Is there not a straight answer to the question I asked

I thought my first reply was clear, maybe not.

No, I am afraid it is not clear to me. I am not an expert in Adobe as you presumably are and have never used it, so apologies if I am asking silly questions.

There aren't really any margins in a PDF, just a page. Of course most pages seem to have margins but that's just white space inside the page. So the 5.04 m has to include any margin you want to see.  Is it possible to scale down smaller from the original app? Even to a4 size?
