Steven, Thanks for you clue about Acrobat Reader. It was trivial making a large PDF in livecode. And printing with reader was equally as simple.
I can keep my lack of printing experience run going a bit longer. :-) Many thanks, Mike Original Message From: stephen barncard Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 2:59 PM To: How to use LiveCode Reply To: How to use LiveCode Subject: Re: Printing a Sign On Sun, Sep 21, 2014 at 5:31 AM, Michael Doub <miked...@gmail.com> wrote: > I need to make a sign that is about 4’ by 3’ and I would like some advice > for tackling this project.

It might allow the content to be printed on several pages... I've never done this either but this is how I would start. I don't know what the limits are on the size of a layout page in Livecode, but this seems reasonable. If the printer driver can't deal with it, then you'll have to figure out a way to take snapshots of the various areas (with overlap) that you then print one by one. I'm sure it could be done. But there's probably an app one can buy for less than a hundred that will do the same thing. How much is your time worth?? this says you can do it in Acrobat reader... http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-posters-banners-acrobat-reader.html *--* *Stephen Barncard - San Francisco Ca.
