Mindcad Tiler App Reviews

Hey - nice App - but one thing is missing: Please add the option that there are lines on the papers that help you cutting the papers. Then it is the perfect App! Thank you very much!

Easy to use BUT not useful for my purposes. Without the ability to print aligment marks it is very difficult to piece the tiled print together.

Despite being told that other [unnamed and very expensive] apps would print an image across multiple pages, I absolutely could not get it done. Mindcad Tiler was EASY, FAST, and ACCURATE. EXACTLY what I needed

Works Great ... just figuring out how to save the file

price a bit much for what it does... and what it does for me. One use a year probably.

It accomplishes a very basic task, which is to split up a page into horizontal or vertical sections. It costs a bit too much for what it does. Nice to have features would be moving and cropping of what I want to print, i.e., set up print area.

I guess if your an office tech you could make this work.For me a big waste of time and MONEY!!!

I have programs to make pdfs exactly how I want, but they wont let me be selective of page ranges. This program also is very accurate with the tiling by print area. Ive been able to "quilt" my custom map pdfs together for years, but now I can print them quickly and painlessly.

Simple application works very well unless you need to print the pdf at 100% (pdfs are auto scaled and no 100% option is offered)

If you have a PDF file that was designed to print on paper that is larger than your printer will handle, then you had limited choices on how you could print the file. You could take it to a copy shop and pay big bucks to print it on a large format printer. You could click on the scale to fit button in the print dialog and have the software shrink the image down so small you couldnt read it, or you could spring for the full version of Adobe Acrobat ($$$). This application does one thing and does it well. It allows you to print a PDF over multiple pages. You just need to use it once, and it will pay for itself. Perhaps someday Apple will include this functionality in Preview. Until they do there is Mindcad Tiler.

does not allow actual size printing... only autoscales

I loved the interface, but well, 2 stars because as others have mentioned the inability to print actual size is a major problem in a tile printing application for chrissake! I beilieve that it is actually a printer driver bug. My workaround was to print to pdf, then open in acrobat and set its printing options to "actual size". Of course Acrobat has its own tile printing… which has been broken since version 8 because it miscalculates margins. Come on developers, get it together!

I have spent over 5hrs altogether just looking for a program on my Mac that I could use to print a banner for my Dads retirement party! Just a simple banner! Researching printmaster, print shop, pages, swift publisher, adobe elements...downloading so many software trials. I dont have time to ORDER the printmaster and print shop (only software I found that FOR sure allowed you to print banners)...so I found this program and LOVE It!! SO easy and fun...you can turn ANYthing into a printable banner!! Thank you thank you thank you! I printed 3 banners out :)

I was looking for a stand alone print banner maker. this is not that. it is a straight-up PDF printer … so, no PDF maker = no banner. I am guilty of downloading it prior to understanding that. Hopefully, I can keep someone else from making the same mistake.

I was looking to make a quick banner sign for my shop. I wanted the size to be 8 1/2 inches by 8 feet. I went into Adobe Indesign and created a page 8 1/2" x 96" banner. Typed out what I wanted in the space, and saved it as a PDF. I then opened up Mindcap Tiler, chose the printer, dragged in the pdf file, adjusted the orientation to landscape, added columns until the banner looked right, set the print to overlap pages, and clicked the print button. It printed perfectly. Absolutely simple like software should be. Saved me a whole bunch of time. A simple app that does exactly what it says it does.

Saved my bacon on a small community art show - didnt want to spend $25 plus on each of several signs needed. Used InDesign to lay them out and Tiler to print them - looks great for MUCH less money.

This was a perfect purchase. Like others, I needed to print a quick poster. I easily created the poster in another application, used the built-in ability to save as a PDF, dragged the PDF to Mindcad Tiler, and voila - I printed a multi-page poster, on exactly the number of pieces of paper I wanted. It really could be easier. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! Note to the developer: It’d be great if the amount of overlap between printed pages could be adjusted.

I was printing out plans for a radio controlled airplane and 6 of the 9 files were done beautifully on Adobe Reader , then I got an “application memory error” on my 16GB iMac! I tried another file and same thing…out of application memory. Needless to say the third file also gave same message. Apple Support could not explain this and suggested I try this application. Well, I gave it 5 stars as it breezed through the 315 KB files with no trouble or messages. I do miss the labelling of sheets and cut line marking of Adobe Reader. This would be nice addition. Great program, saved the day.

I guess I should have read the reviews more carefully as somebody else had the same problem. I was hoping to use this to split a pdf file into multiple pdfs that could later be printed on other computers or at a print shop (don’t own a printer myself). Unfortunately this app cannot do that and I just wasted $5. I wish I could get a refund since I will never be using it.

Tiler did exactly what I needed it to. PDF goes in, multi-page banner prints out. Thanks! Also…I don’t understand the other reviews. This can definitely print to PDF. When the system print dialog comes up, just click the “PDF” menu in the lower left corner and select “Save as PDF…”. Simple :)
