Print thumbnails
To fit multiple pages on a single page, you can create thumbnails—small preview versions of your document. Thumbnails are useful for verifying
content and organization. Where appropriate, InDesign automatically changes the paper orientation to provide the best fit of the page to the paper;
however, you’ll need to reset the original orientation if you deselect the Thumbnails option.
When you print thumbnails, printer’s marks and any items in the bleed and/or slug areas are excluded.
1. In the Setup area of the Print dialog box, select Thumbnails.
2. In the menu, choose the number of thumbnails per page.
Printing oversized documents
Although you can create InDesign documents as large as 18-by-18 feet, most desktop printers cannot print such large pages.
To print an oversized document on your desktop printer, you can print each page of your document in pieces, called tiles, and then trim and
assemble those pieces. If you prefer, you can scale the document to fit the available paper size.
Tile a document
A document’s dimensions do not necessarily match the paper sizes used by printers. As a result, when you print, InDesign divides the oversized
document into one or more rectangles, or tiles, that correspond to the page size available on the printer. You can then assemble the overlapping
sections.
You can have InDesign tile a document automatically, or you can specify the tiles yourself. Tiling manually lets you control the origin point for the
upper-left corner of the tile, so that you determine where the page falls on the paper.
