mutool poster
==========================================

The ``poster`` command reads the input PDF file and for each page chops it up into ``x`` by ``y`` pieces. Each piece becomes its own page in the output PDF file. This makes it possible for each page to be printed upscaled and can then be merged into a large poster.

.. code-block:: bash

	mutool poster [options] input.pdf [output.pdf]

``[options]``
	Options are as follows:

	``-p`` password
		Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

	``-m`` margin
		Set the margin (overlap) between pages in points or percent.

	``-x`` x decimation factor
		Pieces to horizontally divide each page into.

	``-y`` y decimation factor
		Pieces to vertically divide each page into.

	``-r``
		Split horizontally from right to left (default splits from left to right).

``input.pdf``
	The input PDF document.

``[output.pdf]``
	The output filename. Defaults to "out.pdf" if not supplied.
