Tile large PDF in multiple Page-PDF

Hello everyone,

I have to Print a Tiled Poster in my university but i cant print directly from a Computer so I have to have a pre-tiled PDF. For example I have a 1600x800mm Poster and want to split it up in 15 DinA3 Pages. Normally I would use Acrobat Reader but It does not allow me to "Print as PDF".

I would be very thankful if someone could help me!

Thank you very much in advance,

best regards

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12.4)

You have three choices:

Write your own CoreGraphics, or Apple PDFKit application to achieve your poster PDF goals.
Purchase the highest star-rated PDF editor from the Mac App Store providing it offers the functionality you seek.
Sign up for month-to-month Adobe agreement and download Acrobat Pro DC.

No Apple applications support your poster goals.

1. Unfortunately I'm not a developer, otherwise this would be obvious.

2. I have searched for a PDF Editor that is capable of this but no Mac App Store Editor I've found advertises this capability. I've already bought the "Mindcad Tiler" but had to refund it since it does also not allow to save as pdf...

3. I have the Adobe Acrobat DC but it has the same restrictions as the free version, not possible to "save as pdf" out of the printing window.

Thanks for your tips but unfortunately I'm still searching for a solution.
