If you download CutePDF, you can print it to lots of different paper sizes - it's the best PDF printer driver for CAD.  It's free and doesn't cover the printout in "CutePDF freeversion etc.."

You can then resize the paper on that?

Thanks for these replies guys
 
Still struggling here!!
 
Pepa, I cannot find the paper size to print any larger than A4 on the driver settings....
 
If i send you the file in email, could you resize it from 1:15, to 1:24 for me ?
 
then I can print as a tiled plan.

I mean options in your default printer drivers. There is possibilty to rpint big format as a poster. Take a look into the Printer settings in dialog print file.
 
Size of scale is possible change just before conversion/print into the pdf file.

You didn't mention that in your first post!!  I thought you were struggling to print a page at the correct scale... not at another scale...

A quick Google found this : http://www.verypdf.com/pdfinfoeditor/resize-paper/resize.htm

You can convert  PDF into DWG but you need Third Party shareware addons.
 
You can print it in Adobe Acrobat and set in dialog for print: "No scale" or not "Fit to page" and you cad print it as a lots of separated formats in base scale of exported file (it's possible set up, when you printing source drawing's file into the PDF).

You should be able to print it at the right size in Acrobat Reader..  but you might need to "play" a little with the scaling option (on the Print dialogue box)..

Hello people !
 
I wonder if anyone could give me advice here.
 
I have a plan in PDF format, and need to know how to print it at a desired scale on my standard A4 size printer.
 
Do I need to convert it to DWG / DXF and open the file in CAD ? ( I have TurboCAD )
 
Or is it possible to use Acrobat reader to print the plan at an exact size needed ?
 
The plan is for a scale set of templates to build a small model.
 
Thanks for any help !!
 
Rob
