Creating mind map posters
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
A customer recently asked about tiling a huge Curio mind map onto multiple pages to create a giant wall poster for the conference room. He then stumbled across this free, handy utility: Mindcad Tiler.
The basic idea is to do this:
- Select the mind map figure in Curio.
- Choose File > Export Selected Figures As > PDF and enter a file name.
- Launch Tiler and open that PDF.
- In Tiler, choose the number of pages horizontally and vertically to scale your PDF across.
- Print.
Then stitch the individual sheets together with tape or glue to create your poster or banner. Very slick!
If you need something a bit more professional looking: local or Internet print shops should be able to produce a large-format poster given a PDF, as well.

Nifty! It's kinda the reverse of PosteRazor, which is an older program that makes pdf tiles to print various raster images large.
