Breakdown of 12 drawings into A4 and US Letter tile pages
There is a source file - a drawing size 890x2500mm 150 dpi (many different sizes, 840/890 in width, varying lengths) in PDF format.
The file size of the drawing is small - 3-10 mb.
It needs to be split into A4 and US Letter pages in two separate PDF files with a specific label format for alignment and numbering, and adding introductory text on the first page.
Required labels:
- a dashed border at a distance of 5 mm from the edge with a quarter circle at the corners.
- an overlap of 5 mm behind the dashed border - for covering the print margins.
- a number in each corner of the page. Junction numbers (not page numbers, but with a specific logic)
An example of labels is attached, and I can send them in CDR format.
This task is regular; currently, it needs to be done for 12 drawings.
Presumably, it will be easiest to do this in Adobe Illustrator; complications arose in CorelDraw.
Ideally - create a layout with settings/macro that does all of this - you can name your price for such an option. But for now, a manual option will also work.

117 Good day!
I will execute according to the technical specifications with guaranteed accuracy.
I will prepare and provide samples for test printing.
The output file, sized 890x2500mm, can be divided into 39 A4 portrait sheets or 45 A4 landscape sheets. Approximately the same number of sheets will be used when dividing the drawing into US Letter format.
A diagram of possible options for dividing the drawing 890x2500mm into A4 sheets and examples of similar drawings are presented in my portfolio (section - Drawings and Schemes).
If necessary, I will provide the exact dimensions of the reference points at the places where the A4 sheets are glued together.
I can also optimize the layout depending on the landscape, portrait, or combined orientation of A4 on the drawing file.
If there are not just one but several such output PDF files in this project, the cost of execution will be adjusted after familiarization with their quantity and the actual dimensions of the drawings.

4461 26 0 Hello, Viktor.
The task is clear: we need to prepare the "tiling" (breakdown) of long drawings for printing on home printers with precise alignment.
CorelDraw really "breaks" such layouts during export, especially when it comes to overlaps.
My approach (Startfire Studio):
I will do this in Adobe Illustrator.
1. Artboard Grid: I will set up an automatic grid of artboards for A4 and US Letter considering a 5 mm overlap.
2. Marks and Frames: I will create a master layer with your layout (dashed line, quarter circles) so that it automatically overlays on all sheets.
3. Joint Numbering: I understand the logic — we need to number the corners (0-1-2-3) so that the user understands which sheet to glue together (the principle of patterns), rather than just numbering the pages 1-2-3.
…
Regarding automation:
Right now, writing a full script (code) for 12 drawings will be more expensive and take longer than doing it semi-automatically through a configured Action (macro within Illustrator).
Therefore, I propose to do this volume (12 pieces) by manual/semi-automatic method for your budget (1200 UAH). This guarantees accuracy right now.
If the result suits you and the volumes increase — we will discuss the development of the script separately.
Please send your file with marks (CDR or PDF), I will transfer them to Illustrator and create a test breakdown of one sheet for you to check the alignment when printing.

Please show the file itself.
Please note that the accuracy of the dimensions in the final version also depends on the type of printing. Laser printing may slightly distort the size in the final version, while inkjet is the ideal option for joining.
I have experience in this field. Contact me, I will do it now.
Sincerely, Lyudmila.
