I see you were running Adobe DC. As I had noted, poster printing has been available on Adobe Reader on versions 10 and later.

You can use the "Tile Scale" setting to reset the plan size if you want a larger or smaller plan. For instance, if the original plan had a 50" wingspan and you wanted to rescale the plan to a 36" wingspan, set the Tile Scale box to 72, i.e., 72% of 50" is 36".

The Overlap will allow the individual tiles to overlap on the edges -- for me, this makes taping the pages together a bit easier. I usually set the overlap to 0.2" .

Lastly, if you don't want to print the entire plan as tiled, but only a portion, say the side view of the fuselage, then under Edit at the top, select Take a Snapshot. Use your mouse to click and drag a box around only what you want. In the print dialog box, the one showing on your attached image, one of the options will be: Selected Graphic --- you can then tile print (Poster) only that part of the plan.

Play around with the options. Luckily, you don't have to waste paper and ink since you always have the print preview available -- when you like what you see, then print it.

Adobe Reader can do a lot of stuff -- finding out how can be the hardest part. Google and forums are your friends.

I saw that you have the "cut marks" checked. The cut marks are an excellent way to get everything lined up.  I use a paper cutter or a straight edge and an Exacto to cut the two edges.  

Cut marks are a great help.

Glad you got it figured out.

 Yes they are and i cut them down to .002 instead of .005 straight edge and exato is my way too .
