Multi-Page PDF Banner/Poster from PDF [closed]

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.

I printed Alcatel Lucent LTE poster just now which is PDF format. In the printer property just choose scaling type 'Tile large paper'.

"Just yesterday I was in a similar situation. I needed to print a .svg Inkscape vector graphics file onto several smaller sheets of paper (A4 portrait in my case) under Ubuntu Linux.

What I ended up was a hack but it worked for me in my case:

Reduce the document size to the size of your sheets.
Move your graphics so the top-left part of it fits within the document border.
Save the file as PDF.
Move the graphics to the left.
Repeat at 3 until you have the whole row saved as individual PDF-files. If you haven't exported the bottom part of your graphics yet, move the graphics up and repeat at 3.

This got the job done for my example of 8 sheets of paper."

"Use Foxit Reader and while printing select tile large pages and Adjust Zoom and overlap as per your wish.

Or use Adobe PDF reader and in print command dialogue box select Poster and Adjust Zoom and overlap."
