    What is pdfposter?
    --------------------

    Scale and tile PDF images/pages to print on multiple pages.

    ``Pdfposter`` can be used to create a large poster by building it from
    multiple pages and/or printing it on large media. 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.

    This is much like ``poster`` does for Postscript files, but working
    with PDF. Since sometimes poster does not like your files converted
    from PDF. :-) Indeed ``pdfposter`` was inspired by ``poster``.

    For more information please refer to the manpage or visit
    the `project homepage <https://pdfposter.readthedocs.io/>`_.
