Leon,
I'm sure that works well in EASY PC, but as he said he
is using EAGLE. Most likely the free version which
only allows a 3" x 4" board, which is why he has a lot
of small files.
If he has a full version of EAGLE , then he can
panelize, or cut and paste the pcb's there.
I usually just cut out a small piece of the toner
transfer paper and attach it to a sheet of regular
paper with laser labels.
Though it would be more convenient to paste the
graphics first and then print.
I've just started using Adobe Acrobat Prof, but I t
seems there should be a way do do it there.
TANSTAAFL!
