Is there an easy way (in Preview or whatever) to scale up and split a PDF file with a single page into multiple pages? What I would like is to split say an A3 paper document into two A4 pages, to print separately and then put together with tape.

In this PDFBox Tutorial, we shall learn to split a PDF document with an example Java program. Split each page in PDF document to different PDF. Split PDF at a specified interval.
How can I do such a thing in OS X?

Adobe Reader can do this, too: It includes a Poster Print option in its custom print dialog.
It’s the first time I missed a feature from Preview (or the native OS X print dialog) that Adobe Reader has.
Adobe Reader is free (as in beer) software, it used to be called Acrobat Reader. (Do not confuse it with full-blown Acrobat or any other expensive Adobe product, which can probably do that, too.)

If you in Preview select the half of the A3 (e.g. use the Inspector ⌘+I so you get the exact size) - then choose Copy ⌘+C, and paste it as a new file ⌘+N (my suggestion would be to save each new file as its page number). After that do the same with the other half of the A3.
If you save every new file as its page number, then afterward you can select all the new files in Finder. Once they're all selected, right click and choose Quick Actions > Create PDF (available in macOS Mojave). You'll have a new PDF that is composed of every pdf you had selected.

After googling, I found that 'Preview.app' and 'Automator.app' can handle this job.

A small JAVA program called Briss will do exactly this job.

Preview cannot do this unfortunately, but an $5 application called Tiler does this with ease.
Choose any address you visit frequently. Magellan roadmate 1200 manual. This does not need to be your real home address.
Hope this helps.

I have been searching for a free solution for this and I stumbled a java app called 'briss' which does what it promised perfectly. http://briss.sourceforge.net

Briss is wonderful, exactly what we needed to divide each sheet from a pdf file into two parts. To create the selection for the second half of the page, draw a border on the uncovered portion of the first selection on the pdf page. To display sizes right click on the every selection, and select 'Select / Deselect rectangle'. Also, you can read the help :). Thanks!

See pdfposter (you can install it with macports):

If you have Illustrator you can simply create a document with several letter size artboards and place the PDF.

You print to PDF with the following setting:- change page setup to A4 size (if the original document was in A3)- then print.
for the other side of page, you need to rotate the original file and do the same as above.

Select option to print -> Poster This will split your page into your default page size(for letter size 8 x 11)you can select tile scale to zoom within this split page. You can also select overlap. You can select labels so you know which page goes where.
