Help with printing/plan to scale

[tim0409]

Hi there

I have a PDF from a free model plan which I would like to print/have blown up to the correct size so that I can build from it. I've printed it off on A4 and measured the wingspan from the A4 and worked out that it needs to be 4.23x bigger (if that makes sense...), which puts it around an A0 plan size (which I suspect the original was. Is it a simple case of having the file printed out on A0 or am I missing something really obvious?

Thanks

Tim

PS MODS, I've put this in the Computer forum rather than scale models as it is tech question.

Some printers might be able to print it out in sections using a smaller paper size i.e. mozaic and then sellotape it together (other sticky tapes available).

If the pdf has been prepared properly it should be capable of printing onto A0, making sure that size to fit page or similar is deselected.

I think this might help.

Print posters and banners using Acrobat or Reader

And this is how the paper scales...

Im sure a print shop will do the trick.
