I have a SVG file created in Inkscape. I want to print it on multiple sheets to finally form a big poster. I need these multiple sheets converted to a PDF so I can print it from any operating system.
The file I'm working with:
- SVG has a size of 840 mm x 297 mm. (width x height)
- Generate a PDF with two A3 sheets (420 mm x 297 mm).
You can download the file if you want to try out your solution yourself.
I'm open to almost any solution, be it Inkscape extensions/scripts or command-line tools. I just don't want to mess around manually each time I have to re-do the conversion.
Things I've tried and didn't work:
- inkscape-pages adds support for multiple pages to Inkscape, but no support to separate a given file to the pages.
Tools which will only work with raster image format (like PNG or JPG) are a no-go:
- Gwenview
- PosteRazor from the accepted answer of the question: Printing a poster (over several sheets of paper)
Tools I have heard that might work but where I'm unsure if they will and how to approach them:
Update: Added download link.
