How to print the top (or bottom) half ONLY of a page in Preview

I'm trying to proofread a music document that is for 11X17 paper. I have converted it to PDF, and now I want to print out just the top half of the page (a perfect fit for letter size, landscape), and then to print the bottom half of the page. I don't want to join them together--it's just so I can proofread a printed-out copy.


I have googled this question several times, and it tells me how to print half of the number of pages in the document, but not half of ONE PAGE of a document.


Is there a way to do that?

Try -

Open the document in Preview.

Go to the menu Tools > Rectangular Selection

Draw a selection of the top half of the document. Type Command + C to copy.

Go to the menu File > New from Clipboard. Print that.

Repeat for the lower half of the document.
