You can export the page to image file (jpeg, tiff or ...) and use an Image Slicer program to slice it into pages and print.

Thanks, but it won't let me do that. It's a PDF file and it will only let me save it as a PDF file or text file or rich text file, and there are a lot of photos and graphics that I want to keep with the file. Isn't there a pgm somewhere that will let me divide it up into pages?

It would help to know what you mean by "long" - is the page very tall, or is it an interactive document where multiple pages display on the same PDF page (e.g. as a flipbook)?

As you say you're using Reader, there is no option to repaginate the PDF file - that's something only Acrobat can do, and only in specific situations. If *all* you want to do is print it, and it's a document with a page height greater than your paper size, then you can set the printing options to tile it over several sheets instead of scaling to fit.
