Hi,

I have a commercial software package, OctoTools which does what you want. 
It was not designed specifically for your requirements, but more to address
volume PDF and print output with graphic, image and text enhancement to text
and report outputs from just about any application.  OctoTools is aimed a
providing an automated production, but it also has a very flexible front end
designer (to create report templates and eliminate pre-printed forms) 
OctoTools allows page setup to any size and I tried it out to quickly create
a 6 by 1 foot banner pdf output.  Using a standard Adobe reader, I then
could zoom the view up or in this case down to see it all on the screen. 
The document IS created as full size, but OctoTools (and the Adobe 7.0
reader) has the ability to zoom down to see it on the screen.  During the
create stage (an OctoTools template is generated) the banner can be de
singed with no "white space" or with boarders as required.  I ran a test and
will send it to you separately.  The software though is commercial and
priced at $2995 (US) and well justified for volume applications.  If you
would like additional information please visit www.octotools.com or e-mail
me with your questions.

Thanks,
