Docuslice - Poster Printing

First, kudos for making this a free app. Second, even though it’s an iPad app, it actually works very nicely on the Mac, albeit with limitations that betray its iPad origin. Unfortunately, the printing is done with raster images in mind; I needed to print a PDF map to a large format and it ended up not being the right tool for the job. Acrobat Reader no longer offers this tiling for free (shame on you Adobe, you greedy cheapskates) but the free Foxit PDF reader did the job nicely. I think Docuslice can be easily updated to do just as good a job if not better with vector files, but for the time being (mid 2025) it should be reserved to raster files.

Played around for about 20 minutes. One thing the dev can do to really make this a 5 star app is to be aware of landscape mode on the device, especially on iPads with Magic Keyboards. While “compatible” with iPads, programs that don’t acknowledge that the device is being used in landscape mode really annoy me, as I use my iPad more as a laptop than handheld. Otherwise, it seems it will get the job done that I needed to do.

Yes there’s ads but not an overwhelming amount. I only got one when I saved the pdfs/images, and if you want to get rid of the watermark you also just watch an ad. Other than that it works really great and is very customizable and user friendly. I highly recommend the app :)
