How do I enlarge this?

So in my art class we've been asked to do a papercraft of something.

Here I have a PDF with the net of a papercraft Charizard. I was wondering how do I enlarge the pictures (everything) by a factor of four, then print it so it will come on multiple pages? Basically I want a papercraft version 4x bigger than the one shown.

(It's a PDF file, it's safe don't worry)

If you can help me I will grant you three wishes.

Enjoy that pixelation and blur if you're 4xing the size.

Use photoshop? Change the Image size and make sure Constrain Proportions is ticked.[/quote]I agree, this would be the easiest way since Photoshop can import PDFs just fine. Scale it up the pieces and place them on 4 separate documents. Print each one out.

Copy and paste. Then click the corner when you see the arrows.[/quote]

Copy and pasting doesn't seem to work T_T

I think I found another way, on the pdf file, go to printing, then select print poster. It might work.

[quote=cchpm]You can try converting the pdf to word, then enlarge the pictures. But it would be hard to print them unless you have some printer that can print a big paper. Specially the wings.[/quote]
