Hallo, ich hoffe ich stelle meine Frage auf dem richtigen Weg. Ich habe eine
PDF-Datei die DIN A3 groß ist. Ich kann nur DIN A4 drucken. So wird der
Ausdruck runter skaliert. Kann ich im Druckfenster etwas anklicken, dass
eine A3 Seite auf zwei A4 Seiten gedruckt werden?
Vielen Dank.
Freundliche Grüße,
Bernhard Nowak

Hi Ragatio,
If you are referring to print PDF in A3 format, it can be done from the printer properties.
Open the PDF and click on Print icon.
Then select the printer name from the drop-down list.
Now go to Properties tab > Paper quality and click on "Custom" tab.
Then click on new and enter any name for the size and the measurement below.
Once done, click on "Add" at the bottom.
Now you can select that size to Print the PDF as you required.

To print two PDF pages on a single A4 sheet, go to Properties tab in Print window.
Select A4 from the drop-down of "Paper size" under "Printing Shortcuts" tab.
Then click OK at bottom.
Now click on "Multiple" tab and then select the number from the drop-down of Pages per sheet.
Once done, you can check the preview window at right and print the PDF.
Check if this helps.
Let us know if you are referring to something else or if you need any help.

Use the "Poster" button under "Page Sizing & Handling" in the print dialog.

Here's the answer you are looking for:
Like me, you had an A3 page but can only print to A4. The A3 page has too much detail to be shrunk to A4, so you were wondering if you could print it out as two A4 pages.
I had the same question but I couldn't find the answer I wanted. Most answers recommended 'tiling' but this didn't work.
This answer will only work for a few A3 pages, as it's time-consuming. So, in Adobe Acrobat, use Tools->Pages
Then use the crop function to crop half of your A3 page to what you want to print. Double-click the area you've selected and click OK. Then print this out as shrink to fit, as a portrait-sized A4.
Undo the crop, and then crop the other side of the page and repeat. Voila, two A4s out of your A3!

Ah, too bad. I thought we might be talking about Adobe Acrobat.

Hi Ragatio,
Well, as for me, I just use the "print" window.
Step 1, choose "Poster" in "Page Sizing & Handling".
Step 2,
Change the "Tile Scale" to 99.9%, while keeping "Cut marks", "Labels", "Tile only large pages" unticked.
Step 3, you might see "Scales: 100% Pages: 2" on the right side, which means you have succeeded.
