Default Cropping the FTF GM Screen PDF

Has anyone been able to print out the GM screen from the pdf file into the individual pages to be able to assemble it. The eight pages of the screen are only two very long pages and I do not have any app that will crop it. I'm open to suggestions. I had basically given up and decided to buy the hard-copy screen, even though I bought the pdf of the entire Legacy Edition, but the GM screen is only available as a pdf.

Have you tried taking screenshots? If needed you can crop & tile them in a spreadsheet or word document so it looks how you want it. A pain to do but can be done.

Disclaimer: I have not done this for the screen as I got the physical screen. I have for other similar things.

You may want to consider correcting a few items before or after you print out the GM screen. Here's what I've spotted:

If you open the PDF in Acrobat, you should be able to export the file as a JPG. Then, in a photo editor, crop each page down to 8.5x11 inches, use those to create a new PDF, and you're ready for printing.

In acrobat reader you may print it as a "Poster"
When you print instead of the "size" button you chose "Poster", you may need to do a test or two but that is the feature to print a big image in multiple pages for cutting and pasting physically.

You may also print it as a poster but print it as a PDF so you can print a single page or panel.

On Windows, I use paint.net, which has a plugin you can download to bring in pdfs to edit (as images)

I downloaded this to check it out. I can't seem to find the plug-in that allows it to bring in PDFs and edit them.
