Is there any software that would enable me, easily, to print a single pdf page over multiple A4 sheets?
For example I have a pdf file which conists of one page but when printed on one A4 sheet makes it very difficult to read because the font is so small. It would be better to be able to print it on perhaps 2 A4 sheets if printed portrait or 3 A4 sheets if printed landscape.

The script I used to use (haven't printed lot's of pages at home for a long time) is:
PAGES=2 rm -f /tmp/unmangled.ps rm -f /tmp/next.ps rm -f /tmp/$PAGES.pages.ps mpage -$PAGES "$1" >/tmp/$PAGES.pages.ps ps2pdf -r600 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress /tmp/$PAGES.pages.ps
Where $1 was a 1-per-page postscript of the original document (PDF in your case).
