This section explains how to merge multiple pages into a single page; split pages vertically or horizontally, and how to tile pages into smaller sections.
A document can be turned into a single scroll, or multiple pages can merged into a single long page, by selecting the desired pages in the Page List, bringing up the contextual menu and selecting Merge Selected Pages.
The resulting new page consists of a blank page, tall or wide enough to fit all of the merged pages, which are stacked on top of or next to each other as static annotation objects, allowing for further tweaking if desired. The merged pages are removed as individual pages in the document. When saving the document the merged pages are burned into the new page, effectively becoming one unit.
Pages can be split either horizontally or vertically. This operation can be performed on a single page, on all pages selected in the Page List, or simply on all pages.
To split a page, or set the split position for splitting multiple pages, right-click or control-click on a page to bring up the contextual menu for that page and select the desired option: Split Pages Horizontally... or Split Pages Vertically... A splitter will be drawn on the page, along with the distance of the splitter from the edges of the page. Drag the splitter to the desired location, or nudge it with the arrow keys. Once the splitter is in the desired location hit the return key to split the page at hand, hit option-return to split all pages selected in the Page List, or hit shift-option-return to split all pages regardless of selection. All pages will be split at the same location as the model page. (Alternatively, once the splitter is in the desired location, bring up the contextual menu again and select the desired splitting option from there.)
You can exit split mode by hitting the escape key or by selecting one of the three basic work modes (command 1-3). You can also change splitting axis on the fly by selecting the appropriate option from the contextual menu, when a split operation is already in progress.
Rather than simply splitting pages horizontally or vertically, you can tile pages into smaller section both horizontally and vertically at the same time. (Handy, for instance, when you want to print a large graphic onto several pieces of paper to later assemble by hand into a large poster.)
The tiling feature defaults to tiling pages in four, but you can specify a grid of any number of rows and columns, including an optional overlap (red zones in screenshot above).
