How to get a Core Data Model Picture to fit to 1 page when printing?

Ok, embarrassing, there must be an easy way - I have a Core Data model diagram that I want to print - printing is easy, but it pushes it over 4 pages which is difficult to carry around as a handy reference - how do I get it to shrink it onto 1 page?

I defined a 1m by 1m paper size, used it to create a PDF, cropped and then printed it:

  • Go to "File"->"Page Setup…"
  • Go to "Paper Size"->"Manage Custom Sizes…"
  • Define a new paper size with 1000x1000 mm and no borders
  • Go to "File"->"Print…"
  • Choose "PDF"->"Open PDF in Preview"
  • Go to "Tools"->"Rectangular Selection", select the area to crop
  • Do "Tools"->"Crop"
  • Go to "File"->"Print…", print

Sounds complicated, but works. Instead of cropping, you could use the scale factor in the Preview print dialog.
