Searching around, the answer is, of course, simple. You use Windows (I use Debian, but have Win7 in a vm) and Adobe Acrobat Reader. Tell it you want to print it out, select .xps as the format so it prints to file, select the larger page size you want (tabloid in my case), say "fit to page", and under an advanced tab somewhere, select lossless compression of graphics (default is medium jpg), and interleaving "on" (default is off). Sorry this isn't more exact, but I'm doing this from memory and it's not too good.... You'll need to hunt around for those options in the print wondow because they're buried. Then you right-click the resulting .xps file and select "convert to pdf". And at least on the monitor it looks like it should work nicely. I'll try printing out at the shop tomorrow and report back how it actually worked. wish me luck.
