The Royal Mail used to provide a neat PDF file which fitted A4 to show their postage prices.
The latest version though is a 'booklet' so I can't see any way to actually print it on an A4 printer.
This is the link to the PDF:- http://c435158.r58.cf3.rackcdn.com/Royal_Mail_Our_Prices.pdf
Can anyone tell me how to split it up into printable pages? I've tried ImageMagick's convert but that didn't default to what I wanted, maybe I need some more options to tell it what to do.
On my system (Mandriva), there is a program called pdfedit and I have just used it to load up the file. One option is to save the page as a graphic so that might be a way round your problem as you could then hack the graphic. Seems a bit of an overkill to me though.
One of the problems with the RM pdf is the size. It's bigger than A3 in length but not width. According to okular, it's 574.001 x 210 mm while A3 is 420x210. So however you print it, you'll have duplication of parts of the page, that is unless you have a continuous printer or you can hack the file as above.
