scan sheets a0, a1, a2,.. with a4/a3 scanner and "recreate/recompose" the original

[reggio]

Hello, I would like to electronically catalog old drawings on paper,
it is therefore a matter of scanning sheets in a0, a1, a2, ... with
a scanner that has only a4/a3 formats and "recreate/recompose"
the original in one sheet pdf/jpg or other:

Is there a free software that can help me?

Hi.
I don't know if there is a free sw to do is what
I know I happen to have to save an a1 in digital format.
we used a simple camera
with a little patience
you take pictures
it occurs if everything is understandable and is saved in jpeg
where there are quotas that you do not see I have it fits on the drawing to highlight them
or put them in the hypeg
p.s.
Since there's a little crisis
from a bit of work to the designers:biggrin:
a hug

What? http://www.arcsoft.com/en-us/software_title.asp?productcode=pmk5pro#submenuthen say you scan the design as an image and not pdf and then "unite it" with maker panorama?
know if in the end it allows to print on high quality pdf? (maybe you just have a pdf creator )

Thank you.

I used gimp, irfranview and hugin.
all work with images. in practice it is very basic photo editing. if the scan is high resolution do not lose in details and you can then switch to good quality pdfs.
the last is a very powerful panoramic image generator, but it seems too much for what you have to do.
I'd be up on irfanview or gimp. the first is more intuitive, but with the second six more precise

Hi.

hi, gimp I already installed it, but how do you use it in this case?
need plug-ins or how?
from what do I start: from pdf or jpg?
How do you explain? Can you give me more indication to join them in "automatic"?

also hp has a sw to compose pictures, ttrovi in the download of the drivers included.
they also had a fantastic scanner, with a transparent plan that allowed to scan large formats, even rigid of course, leaning it over several times: It's out of production!

Of course from a jpg. or if you have space from a bmp. gimp is a photo editing software, but for what you have to do you just the classic copy and paste function
coma do is easy: you have your scans in pieces, oviously all of the same resolution otherwise you become hydrophobic. see how big they are (in terms of pixels) and according to that you calculate how big the image is, the two are abundant. create an empty image of that size, then do nothing but paste the various images into this, having the kindness to put them on various layers. That's what it takes to move them to your liking. All of them, maybe using the zoon to do a good job. then flatten the layers into one. at that point cut out the useful part of drawing and save everything in jpg or pdf. voilà
then I don't know if there are any plugins that do it automatically. It's possible, but I never put the problem

The only one I know is "automatic" hugin, but it's not that automatic. and I don't see it suitable for technical drawings. I speak of free software, obvious
