a) fillable forms that explicitly say they must be completed using Windows, and b) dress patterns that use a very large page size and multiple layers. Until recently, my wife used Adobe Reader on a mac to print them on letter paper as tiles with lines marking the edges of the tiles. That no longer works and I haven't been able to do what she needs with linux tools.There are scripts to print PDF posters as tiles, but I haven't found one that duplicates what Adobe Reader produces. The ones I tried didn't support the edge marks and layer selection. Some did not preserve the design scale with acceptable accuracy. My wife often tests new patterns and finds glitches, so she needs to confirm that the glitches are present using Adobe software. -- George N. White III
