Printing scale maps from PDFs?

Another image splitter: Split and Tile (shareware)

Works pretty well to split a big image up and auto-save it into multiple JPGs.

If you still take it to a printer, check to see if they have a tiling function on their RIP station. This is slightly more intuitive when it's connected to the printer doing the actual printing and when print actual overlap to make tiling easier.

Considering its just a click of button on a good printer, shouldn't cost extra.

I use the clone tool so that I can grab appropriate areas with shadows, so that it's harder for the players to spot the edits.

One thing I've tried is doing a half-assed clone job and leaving a faintly distinguishing mark or gab on the map to give the players a clue that something is there. It simulates a Perception check in a way without requiring one.

IMHO - I don't find this to work well at all, and I was quite hopeful. I donwloaded and installed it. It is easy to split an image. However, it prints a banner "Trial Software - Split and Tile" across every image. Secondly, it doesn't work well for resizing at all, greatly deteriorating the image quality, which precludes me spending $20 to get rid of the banner.
