(synopsis "Scale and tile PDF images/pages to print on multiple pages")
(description "@command{pdfposter} can be used to create a large poster by
building it from multple 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 @command{poster} does for Postscript files, but working with
PDF. Since sometimes @command{poster} does not like your files converted from
PDF. Indeed @command{pdfposter} was inspired by @command{poster}.")
