I seem to have the same problem with my version of Adobe Reader.
If there is a way to print a large Adobe Reader document
on a series of pages, I wish somebody would tell me how.
I might have to make a reduced-resolution GIF or JPG version
of the map for printing purposes.
The map is NOT a three-D map like the prior ones. It is
a "node-map", that is, it displays the connections between
stars, not their relative locations. I will fix the map
to link in Delta Trianguli as per your description.
What happened was that in order to convert a three-D map
into a node map, one has to simplify. If you draw connections
between a star and *all* the other stars, the map becomes
a solid black wad of lines. It is just that in the process
of simplifying, my computer program inadvertently
left out the critical links. But I will rectify things.
