How to break up a large document into multiple pages?

Sorry for my newbie questions, but I am really new to Illustrator (CS6 on Windows)...
I am creating a poster in A1 format. My printer can only print up to A4, so I would like to break up my poster into 8 A4 pages to print a preview before sending the doc off to the printer.
Is there a way to easily do this?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Go to View>Show Print Tiling
then go to File>Print
From the page Size select A4
In the Print Dialog select from the Scaling optionsTile Full Pages from the drop down
Youy will see the tiling you need 9 pages BTW
One of the problems you cane see right away is that the pages are butted by the tiling and your printed might need a border on all edges.
So tio compensate for this you need to have a little bit of an overlap that changes the tiling but when you trim the paper to the edge of the actual print area on the page and lay the pages on top of one another you will be able match them.
I chose .5 inch for the overlap. You will have to figure out the amount you need for your printer.
So in the print dialog to the right of the Scale Option Enter an over lap amount as well
You can do it with separate artboards but you will have a hard time when it comes to the overlap.

How do I output a large pdf into single pages for press?

How do I output a large pdf into single pages for press?

It is certainly a good point that, if they need the files separately, and don't even know how to use Acrobat to split it themselves, it might lead one to question their expertise in the PDF field.

How do I split a large PDF into multiple documents using Acrobat?

Will acrobat split a large document into mulitple documents. Not extract but split. Also can you delte pages with it?

Hi servidone,
You can defintely do this with Adobe Acrobat. Please see this page for details on how to accomplish the tasks you were asking about: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/manipulating-deleting-renumbering-pdf-pages.html

How do I split a large image over multiple pages?

I need to produce and A1 sized retail poster, but do not have access to an A1 large-format printer.
I currently have an Epson Stylus R1800 A3+ printer, once I have created the A1 image in PS CS3, is there an effective way to split my image into four-separate A3 pages for printing?
Any help greatly appreciated :)

You could do it in a Page Layout program like InDesign or Quark or an illustration program like Illustrator (I believe) or Freehand.
But look at all your Printer options first. Many printers have a Poster or Tile option that will do this.

Possible to split one large pdf into multiple pages (in the same pdf?)

I have some well logs that have been scanned - problem is they're coming is as one loooong page in the pdf. Is it possible to split it up into several 8.5 x 11 pages within Acrobat, or do I need special software?

Depends on what you have and the amount of length (a time issue). The simplest way is to use the crop tool to get a page worth and save it, then repeat for the next page, etc. Once all the pages are saved, you can put them back together. You should then use redax or such (print to a new PDF in a pinch) to remove the cropped portions. As I said, this is a bit time consuming, but can do the job. There are likely quicker ways and possibly some 3 party products that can do the job also.

How to convert a large document into a InDesign Book w/Chapters?

Hello!
I just started a position with a company that has a number of catalogs full of the widgets they sell. Previously the catalog work was outsourced to a company that uses Quark, and the first thing I did when I started was to convert them to InDesign using a 3rd party plugin.
The one I'm working on now is 400+ pages, including a TOC and 2 indexes (words / item nos.), and is currently 4 VERY large files that take 5-10 minutes each to open.
What I'd like to do is split the entire catalog along logical lines into a bunch of 10-50 page documents, then stitch them all back together as Chapters in a Book file. The plan is to have the smaller documents be usable either as stand-alone brochures or as pieces of the big catalog. Once I can get it all organized the way I want, I'll be redoing the TOC and indexes as well.
So, to boil it down to a few questions:
1. How do I split a large document into smaller pieces?
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?
A thousand thanks in advance to all who read this, and to any who respond!

Saving x-number of copies as new names, then chop off the unwanted parts is pretty efficient.
2. I have a basic understanding of creating a Book file, but are there any pitfalls I should watch out for when stitching the bits back together?
Nothing specific, other than learning the ins and outs of working with book files. For example, if you change a style in one file, you'd want to use the Synchronize feature to propagate the change to the other files, but you'd also need to remember if any change in one file shouldn't be propagated to others, and deselect it in the Synchronize dialog box.
It's a good idea to open all and save all book files before doing any book-wide operation; even better to save the whole directory for safety. Working on open files gives you some undo powers that working with closed files doesn't.
3. Is it possible to have page numbering automated so that if I open a chapter on its own the pages will be, say, 1-20; but if I open it in the context of the book file the pages will be, say, 84-104?
The individual files need to be checked and perhaps updated or have their numbering restarted when they're removed from the book file's control. It depends on how you've set up the numbering.
4. Are the page numbering, TOC, and indexing tools flexible enough to where if I modify a section such that it adds or removes pages in that section, the entire book file will restructure to accommodate?

Both TOC and Index have check boxes to include all files in the current book. You need to update the TOC, and generate the index again with Replace Existing Index checked, after making changes.

How Do I combine 2 InDesign Documents into 1 (in a very particular way)

How do I combine two InDesign Documents into one in a very specific way.
Here's my problem: I have two separate InDesign CS5 files for playing cards. File one is the front. File two is the back.
The company that does my final print production needs the the cards sent as two separate PDFs. One for the card fronts, one for the card backs. Both of these InDesign (and the PDF export) files are arranged in the same way: page 1 is card #1, page 2 is card #2, etc. Nice and simple.
However, I use a different company for producing prototype versions of the decks (the production printer can't do this economically). My prototype producer needs me to send a single PDF where page 1 is Card #1 Back, page 2 is Card #1 Front, Page 3 is Card #2 back, Page 4 is Card #2 front, etc.
The decks I am building usually run 56 cards, but can be as large as 180 cards.
So, what's the easiest way to automate this process? is there a way to combine two separate indesign files by "interleaving" the pages from the two original documents into a new larger document (where I could do a new PDF export)? Or, is there a better way to do this in Acrobat Pro? At the moment I have to resort to drag and dropping each card from one PDF thumbnail pallet to the other. It's really time consuming and mind-numbingly boring. Any Ideas?

This script is actually pretty straightforward, so it's a good first
challenge I think.
I would script this in InDesign -- probably because I'm more familiar
with InDesign scripting.
To start learning the InDesign scripting basics, open the ExtendScript
Toolkit (ESTK) which is almost certainly installed on your computer
already. Go to the Help menu, and you'll find an entry there called
Adobe Intro to Scripting. Read that. I think that's the best place to start.
For the script in question, you would want to:
1. make sure both InDesign documents are open. They would both have the
same number of pages. (No scripting involved here, just make sure
they're open before running the script.)
2. loop backwards through the collection of document pages of one of the
documents. (document.pages is the collection you're looking for)
3. use the move() method of a document page to move it. (myPage.move())
4. Learn about the LocationOptions enumerator so that when you move the
page you can tell InDesign if you want to move it before, or after
another page. (LocationOptions.AFTER or LocationOptions.BEFORE)
5. Get a reference to the page in the second document before (or after)
which you want to move the page in the first document.
5. that's basically it
I suggest that as you work your way through this (if you decide to take
up the challenge), you post any questions you may have on the InDesign
Scripting forum here.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

"Save as PDF" breaks up the document into multiple PDFs

Ever since my Lion install, when I open a doc in MSWord and try to "Save as PDF", it breaks up the document into multiple PDFs, not one saved PDF. Haven't seen this problem before. Anyone else experiencing this new "feature"?

What version of Word? It's working fine with my Word 2011 on Lion. (version 14.1.2. Applied SP1 and the .2 update.)
A workaround would be to print, then select the PDF dropdown in the lower corner of the print window.
Otherwise, you'll probably want to ask in the Microsoft forums, as Save As is using Word's programming code, not OSX's code like it does with the print function.
