I feel like this is a dumb question and should have an easy solution, but I can’t figure it out. I am working on a large trade show graphic that all told will be 120in high by 144in wide. I want to print this onto one page (ideally 11×17) just so I can show my bosses the general layout, but when I try to export it to a PDF, it works on it for a while, and then just gives up. When I try to print it, it wants to print just the part of the graphic that fits in the 11×17 size. The size of the large graphic is only 50mb, so I know it’s not a file size issue. I’ve printed (not exported) to Adobe PDF and scale to fit, but it’ll either make the whole graphic tiny (unreadable on 11×17) or it’ll print just the part that of big graphic that fits on 11×17.
I’m on CS5 in Windows.
Any ideas, other than resizing the whole graphic?? Is this even possible to do?
Thanks!!
