I have 2 schematics of 2 PCB Boards but both schematics are getting bigger and I want to print them.

So I split them in pieces of A4 size but how do I make them connected to each other and their NETs. There is no information on website how do that. Maybe I missed. I tried creating a top schematic and add sub schematics from Design > Create Sheet Symbol from Sheet. But still it doesn't create a tree on project window or when I compile a sub schematics I get floating pins error because they are not connected to other schematics file.

I want them to be like

Code: 
-Schematic 1
  -Sub Schematic 1A
  -Sub Schematic 1B
  -Sub Schematic 1C
  -Sub Schematic 1D
    -Sub Schematic 1DA
    -Sub Schematic 1DB


-Schematic 2
  -Sub Schematic 2A
  -Sub Schematic 2B
 

Have you added Port symbols with the same designator to interconnect these sheets, both in the upper sheet and in the lower sheet ? I don't remember if it is also required, but perhaps you have to add Net names ( obviously, identical ) to the wires where these Ports are connected.
 

Yes both sheets has same nets, not ports. I dont know why its too much complicated to paginate the schematics. Would be awesome if they've added a button to add a page, nothing else, not this symbol mess.
 

I've got it working by making Nets global in project properties. Also, compiling the project creates the tree layout of schematics. But its over-engineering just for paginating the schematic.
