Acrobat Snapshot Tool

You can use the "Snapshot" tool in Adobe Acrobat to print only a portion of a PDF. Click the camera icon, then select a window -- you'll get a message saying "The selected area has been copied to the clipboard." Click OK, then go to Print. Under "Print Range", the button for "Selected Graphic" will be filled. Then you can put it on whatever size paper is appropriate, and print. No more printing 36x48 PDF's to get a single detail! (Yeah, it's another "non-CAD" tip...still useful!)
