pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from multiple pages and/or printing it on large media. It scales and tiles PDF images/pages.
It expects as input a PDF file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file, maybe containing multiple pages together building the poster.
The input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size.
pdfposter is similar to what poster does for PostScript files, but working with PDF.
