Can anyone tell me how to print individual pages of a pdf document?
No, that's not really what I mean (of course I know how to do that).
The thing is, I have downloaded this User Manual for a DECT phone and it's a 2 page pdf document - but each page is really 18 pages.
If you print it as it is, it's unreadable (font far too small). What I want to do is 'extract' each of the 36 pages and print them individually.

Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

Can do it with Linux. Select a limited area, copy, paste into OpenOffice drawing tool, scale to page size. But the quality is awful, primarily because there is not much resolution in the original image.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

If you use Ubuntu there's no need to copy and paste into OO. Just open the PDF with "Document Viewer" (NOT Acrobat Reader) -> Print -> Print to file -> PDF and select the pages you want to print.
@OP: Try PDFSam

Thanks but I'm afraid that's beyond my capabilities.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.

What's the problem? Did you install it? If you're stuck somewhere, ask here and somebody might help you.
Edit: I think I didn't read your post properly. What you need is to print the PDF as a poster.0 -

This is how you can do it manually. You need to do it for every page you want to print.
Open the PDF with Acrobat Reader. Zoom into the document and move it around with the "Hand Tool" (Tools -> Select & Zoom -> Hand Tool). Then you chose the "Snapshot Tool" (Tools -> Select & Zoom -> Snapshot Tool) and draw a box around the area you want to print. This area will now appear with a blue background. Now print and select "Selected Graphic" before clicking OK.
This step you repeat for all pages you want to print. It's a bit cumbersome, but it works.0 -
Open the PDF
Zoom to the bit you want
Press the print button
Select "Current View"
That will print the view of the PDF you have (i.e., zoomed in).0
