history
Project history and usage
pdftilecut subdivides one or more PDF pages into smaller pages suitable for small-format printers, with print marks and PDF bleed and trim boxes for assembly or professional trimming.
Project history
pdftilecut was created as a tool for splitting large PDF pages into printable tiles. Its official repository records a Go-based implementation and credits QPDF for parsing and rewriting PDF files.
Adoption history
The official README documents distribution through Homebrew and Arch Linux's AUR, as well as downloadable static binaries. The supplied input confirms the Homebrew package mapping.
How it is used
A typical invocation supplies a tile size, input PDF, and output PDF. The official example uses A4 tiles and warns users to print at 100% without scale-to-fit.
Why package nerds care
pdftilecut is a focused Unix-style tool for a niche print-production problem. Its static Go binary, QPDF-based implementation, and scriptable interface make it convenient to package and automate.

- Repository history: Official GitHub repository records 52 commits.
