Section of Yellowstone National Park map, Wyoming. |

National Park Service maps come in various sizes.
Maps smaller than your printer's paper size will print at full scale
on one page in Acrobat Reader. Maps larger than your printer's paper
size will center and crop the map, printing only the section of
the map that fits on the page.
While page tiling is not possible from the free version of Acrobat
Reader, you may still reduce the map to fit on a page. If a map
is slightly larger than your printer’s paper size and you
want to reduce it to fit on one page, select "Shrink oversized
pages to paper size" in the Acrobat Reader Print dialog box.
You must have the full retail version of Adobe Acrobat and a Postscript-compatible
printer driver to print maps significantly larger than your printer’s
paper size using "page tiling." Acrobat divides the oversize
map into tiles (or sections), with each section printing on a separate
page. You can then manually cut and tape these sections together.
Make sure you un-check "Shrink oversized pages to paper size"
and then select the "Advanced” button on the Acrobat
Print dialog box. Select "Automatic" to tile the map across
multiple sheets of paper. You may specify an "Overlap"
amount, "Scale" the print output, and include "Tile
Marks" to help you cut and tape the tiled pages together.
