The frames of page tiling frames are actually not frames at all
– they merely represent the boundary lines of the tiles for
subsequent printout. Page tiles allow you to print your document in
several portions. This is necessary when your printing device uses
paper sizes which are smaller than a document page. For example, if
you are producing a tabloid size (11x17
or 28cm x 43cm)
document but your laser printer only prints DIN-A4 size (8.3" x 11.8"
or 21cm x 29.7cm) pages, the tiling function will allow you to print
your document in three sections, or tiles
, on A4 paper. A
tiling frame will then correspond to exactly one output page. A more
detailed description can be found in the Special functions for Tiling
frames chapter.
For tiling frames, Special functions are available in the second function group.
