mutool poster#

The poster command reads the input PDF file and for each page chops it up into x by y pieces. Each piece becomes its own page in the output PDF file. This makes it possible for each page to be printed upscaled and can then be merged into a large poster.

mutool poster [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]

Command line parameters within square brackets [] are optional.
