My issue is to get the print at the right scale: 1/4"/ft. I got Gimp to do what I want. I cropped the area I wanted, then set the print scale at 100%. When the cropping was done carefully, it fit on the page. If it had not fit it would have taken some fiddling with multiple croppings.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and suggestions. -Denis On Sat, Apr 10, 2021 at 11:57 AM wes <[email protected]> wrote: > I would do this the easy way: take a screenshot of the area I want to > print, paste it into my favorite image editor, and cut out the parts I > don't want. > > -wes > > On Saturday, April 10, 2021, Denis Heidtmann <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > I have a 150 MB pdf file (66 pages) which has some scaled drawings > > (1/4"/ft).
