A while ago I cam across a site that allowed you to upload a .jpg
picture, and it would create a PDF file. This PDF file was special in
that it would have poster size dimensions and you could print it out
using a bunch of sheets of paper. Of course there was quality loss,
but it was a cool way to make a poster. I was wondering if you could
find the site?

The poster was converted into a kind of black and white halftone dot grid.

Greetings mcallan-ga,

It sounds like you are looking for the Rasterbator:

http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

"The Rasterbator is a web service which creates huge, rasterized
images from any picture. The rasterized images can be printed and
assembled into extremely cool looking posters up to 20 meters in
size...  After you have cropped the image and selected a desired size,
the rasterbated image will be sent to you as an easily printable pdf
file."

If this is not the site you were looking for, please let me know and I
will further research the question.  Thanks!
