Hi all - First an explanation, then my question - I have made a family tree in x365 that, when editing and when exported to PDF, requires a lot of zoom, in order to read the very small text. I needed to make the text small, in order to fit all the names on the tree ("chart"). I wanted to keep each generation on a single, horizontal line, rather than to zig-zag the connecting "descendants". Because of that, I needed to make the text very small (0.36pt for some details - such as birth dates, etc.).

When I export this chart, the PDF requires a zoom of 2400% in order to read the smallest text on my 21-inch monitor (appearing as a normal 12pt text would appear on any display, in other words). My question is: How large would a paper print be, if this 2400% zoom was to be printed and to have the smallest text be comfortably read (as a newspaper print is, for example)? I made the chart onto a blank Xara document that was 8.5x11 inches (landscape format), then exported it to PDF. Would the print be, for example, 24 times the 11-inch-wide original (almost 22 feet wide?) Or would it be around 4.5 feet wide, perhaps?

The first guess is simply 24 (the 2400%) times the width (11 in.) = 264 in/12in. = 22 ft.

The second guess is counting each doubling of size (100% to 200% as and increase of 1; 200% to 400% as 2; 400% to 800% as 3; 800% to 1600% as 4 and 1600% to 3200% as 5 (although 3200% is larger than my target 2400%, it makes sure the text would be "readable"). Anyhow, using the "5" and multiplying it by the 11 inches would be: 11 in. x 5 = 55 in/12= 4.5 feet wide.

Sorry if this is confusing, but I have no idea how to know the required print size, zoomed to 2400%.
