Question: i am working on [LFS](http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter04/creatingtoolsdir.html), and getting this error creating symbolic links. i checked this [link](https://askubuntu.com/questions/524606/creating-a-symbolic-link-to-a-directory) but no help, also googled but nothing works. 

```
# ln -sv $LFS/tools /
‘/tools’ -> ‘/mnt/lfs/tools’

```

in root directory, i see a file *tools*, with link symbol on it. double clicking throws an error *"the link cannot be used because its target /mnt/tools does not exist"*

also checked env variable 

```
# echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs

```

any help would be awesome.

thanks

Answer: 
You can save as the image as pdf from inkscape directly using the highest 
resolution (dpi), say 600, of the printer you plan to use for printing.

Afterwards, you can use imagemagick (command convert) to crop the upper and lower parts of the image independently into two different pdf files. For instance (typed on a terminal): 

```
convert askUbuntu.pdf -crop 100%x50% +repage askUbuntuSplit.pdf

```

You can then split it into individual pdf files using:

```
pdftk filename.pdf burst

```

I presume imagemagick and pdftk are already installed.
as I couldn't get your file (broken link) I managed with a PDF I had on my computer.
Anyway, this is how I proceeded:

* Launch ***Scribus*** (*1.4.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS*)
* create new A3 2 pages document with options "Double Page" and
"Starting on left page" selected (maybe not the right translation as
I'm working on a French Scribus version).
* create an image frame over the two pages
* import PDF
* set image size fit to frame
* export as PDF
* print it

The result is in the archive you can download here:

(1.4 Mo)

The problem that can occur is related to technical margins desktop printers usually have.

In this case, you could make 2 images frames that overlap like in the *2A3bis.sla* file provided.
