RE: RHEL 5/6/7 "rosetta stone"
Adobe automatically downscaled it to fit onto an 11x17 page (40%), and the result was legible. I was also able to tell it to print as a poster, which resulted in a 34x44" document, which mapped out to 8 separate 11x17 pages... no idea where I'm going to post that. :) Maybe my server room.
