Printing out maps onto big sheets of paper?

happycamper

There's a local blueprint printing service that is not very expensive at all (a few dollars for a large poster type thing.) While it only prints black and white, I thought it would be cool to build a huge dungeon map (battlemap sized) and print it out in one go...

However, I'm struggling to figure out how to get CC3/DD to print out a large map file.... anyone have any ideas?

How can I get it to output a file that will be something like 3' x 3' (or 3' x 5', etc...)?

I have a free PDF output option, but I can't seem to get that to set up a huge page size. (And the printing place doesn't offer any printer drivers, etc... for me to download. I'm pretty sure they can use photoshop, illustrator, PDF, jpg, or other standard image/doc formats...)

Anyone have any ideas?

If you use a pdf printer, go to the print settings as you would for a standard phyiscal printer. There should be a setting for page-size and print quality (dpi). I know there is for Cute PDF.

Thanks, I was using a lame PDF printer module that didn't allow custom sizes...

Now I have an issue with the printing itself. The preview looks great, but the pdf file doesn't contain anything but a grey outline...
