I have a pdf that I made in Inkscape and it's about the size of a business card.

I'd like to print a bunch up (tiled?) on one sheet of photo paper then cut them. Any ideas how I can do this? The pdf is the size of one card.

thanks in advance!

Probably you are better off printing from Acrobat reader and using your printer's advanced printing tab to print several 'pages' on one page...

Hi.

If you are on a Windows based PC:

Get IrfanView: http://www.irfanview.com/
Download and install the program AND plugins.

Then follow this guide: (copied from the ComSquare page: http://www.comsquare.dnsalias.com/forum ... 5aa605e55c

1) Create an image of your business card in your favorite program
2) Open the image in IrfanView
3) Select save as and then pdf
4) Set some ImPDF options
4a) In the "Layout" tab set the size of the paper you like to print to
4b) Set the page border
4c) In the "Tiles" tab select "RxC tiles, one image"
4d) Enter the number of rows and columns you like to use
4e) If there should be a distance between your cards add a tile border
4f) Verify that in the tile area you get the size of your business card
4g) "In the "Compression" tab check the quality (lossless is the best)
5) Save
6) Print the resulting PDF with your favorite PDF viewer.
Be careful to print without scaling the page

Note:
In step 3 you have to click "Save" to get to the imPDF options dialog.
Good Luck

There's many ways to accomplish this as you can see from the responses. I usually buy the plain, perforated type blank business cardstock from a Staples or Office Depot type store, Avery is one brand, but there are cheaper store brands out there. These come with a number code, and Word has many of the name brand's stored already, so all you need to do is create one label/business card, and the Word program creates all of the clones. The original one you can create in Inkscape, then copy and paste it over to Word. (assuming you have the Word pgm).

Also, what I've been thinking of doing, is simply using blank cardstock to create my own format, then using a clone to fill in the page, so if I make any changes to the original, it all changes. I would probably put in a 'cut' mark under each label, in order to line it up to cut. (the nice thing is that the hubs has a great old timey cutter that he used for photography, and it works great for cardstock), I can just roll the blade up and it's cut, it's a bit tiring of course, but that's a cheap way of making business cards. You could use Inkscape exclusively for this method, but I'd probably still use Word to line up the labels.
