printing in A4 pages

[kelle...@gmail.com]

Do you know how to print the A0 pdf poster in a serie of A4 pages?

Do you mean the low-cost-conference-editition printout of a A0 poster
with a lot of TESA?

[kelle...@gmail.com]

I look for a way to print 16 A4 pages corresponding to the A0 poster,
just for testing purpose,
before to print the full A0 poster.

I don't know if there exists already a tool for this problem;
otherwise I would use the \includegraphics viewport option to iterate
and crop over the original poster. Try this out - first define an
empty beamertheme style (empyt head and footline), then create a new
poster-crop.tex A0 file which loads and crops the original A0 poster:

\documentclass[final,hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}
\mode<presentation>
{
\usetheme{Empty}
}
\usepackage[orientation=portrait,size=A4]{beamerposter}
\usepackage{textpos} % free image positioning
\setlength{\TPVertModule}{1cm} % unit for vertical positioning
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{1cm} % unit for horizontal positioning
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{}
\begin{textblock}{4}(-1,-12)
\includegraphics[clip=true,viewport=0cm 0cm 21.0cm 29.7cm]{poster}
\end{textblock}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Then iterate over the A0 poster by changing the viewport values.

There is s program called poster. Not a good word to google for, but
there is a debian (and thus should be ubuntu) package.
