About:
Pdftilecut is a command-line utility that processes PDF files by subdividing their pages into smaller, uniformly sized segments. It effectively tiles large-format documents, such as posters or blueprints, into standard-sized pages. This allows users to easily print oversized content on standard home or office printers without losing any information.
Key Features:
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
  • Handles multi-page PDF documents in a single operation
  • Preserves original content quality by vector-to-vector processing
  • Automatically calculates and applies crop marks for precise cutting
Use Cases:
  • Printing large posters or blueprints on standard letter or A4 paper
  • Creating booklets or zines from single large-format pages
  • Preparing oversized charts for standard binder or folder insertion
Alternatives:
  • pdfposter – Similar functionality, often used for tiling large posters across multiple pages.
  • Acrobat Reader – The 'poster' print option in GUI PDF viewers can achieve similar results but is not scriptable.
