How to cut an A0 poster into 16 A4?

Post by lokami »

The title says it all :)
I have an A0 poster in PDF that I want to cut up into 16 A4s. How can I do that? I have looked at many scripts/websites/man pages, to no avail.
Thanks for the help

The "-crop 4x4@" option will do the job.

Thanks!
By the way, if someone else is looking for this, there is also the PosteRazor application that will do this, but it requires an image as input and returns a PDF
