</div></div> This is a FAQ. You can create a PDF in Scribus measured in feet--billboard<br>
size. Printing such a pdf is another matter.<br></blockquote><div><br>Right.<br><br>The way to go is first discuss this case with the actual printer who’s going to output this job.<br><br>Depending on the equipment used, specs may (will) vary.<br>
<br>As a general comment, it is more than likely the print shop will need a file proportionnally reduced (they should be able to tell you the percentage). The file will be much more easy to handle. The images will have to follow the resolution specs to ensure image quality when enlarged.<br>
