Hello. I am trying to print a poster-size "view" of my project to present in
a meeting. I have asked a local print-shop and they need the file in a PDF
format. I've tried the copy to picture functionality to get a .GIF image
file and then saved that into a PDF, but the resolution is grainy and my
poster ends up a 3'x11' size. Unless we have 12' ceilings, this won't work.
: ) I also see that MS Project doesn't allow you to set a "larger" size
paper size. It allows for custom, but you can't set the size. Has anyone
out there tried to do the same thing I am trying to do with any success?
Thanks!
There is free software (open source, GPL) that allows you to create a
poster from ANY application using your own normal-sized printer. The
poster is assembled from multiple output pages. The result is almost
professional quality.
The software installs a new "virtual" printer on your system. You
simply print your document to it, and a dialog will come up that will
allow you to choose the size of your poster and then print it to a real
output printer.
The main web site, with screen shots to really show you what it can do,
is http://posterprinter.sourceforge.net/
If you want to download it right away, the download page at
SourceForge is
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=172256
