I'm looking for a utility that will take one large sized PDF, and split it into smaller PDFs for banner/poster printing. Looking for a linux or multi-platform solution.
More Background
My goal is to take an Inkscape document and generate a PDF, then print it on a printer that doesn't do banner/poster printing automatically - so if there's a better solution, I'd be happy to hear that as well.
I've found exporting as a PNG both takes a while, and sometimes blends are not preserved. Printing as PDF (Ubuntu print-to-file) seems to work well. I've found utilities that can take large images formats and generate multipage PDFs, but not PDF to PDF.
7 years after posting, I used the accepted solution with success. The "off-topic because they become outdated quickly" doesn't look correct in this case ;-) – Julien Kronegg – 2016-09-14T21:45:44.153
@JulienKronegg Indeed. At least it took 5 years to close the question. :) – Tim Lytle – 2016-09-17T14:44:35.643
