Olimex Schematic in .gif format question

Is it me or has anyone else had problems printing Olimex .gif files to a printer ?

I can print them but i cannot fit it on one sheet of paper. when i try to resize it so it fits on a sheet i loose the clarity of the schematic.

Anyone got any tips on how i can resize them to fit on a standard size 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and still be readable ?

Also, in case Olimex reads this, how about using a standard format like .pdf for your schematics ?

I had the same problem. I ended up spending an hour or so messing with Irfanview and Gimp (free and open source image editor) to print out a ‘whole map’ page, and well as several zoomed in sections where I could actually read the text.

I’m guessing that the GIF is just a standard dump from something like EAGLE and they don’t massage it into something more user friendly.
