No circular saws, etc.

I guess if you had a fine tooth saw and some masking tape. Put the tape over the line with that side down so when you cut it doesn't splinter the wood. Make even smooth cuts with your saw, not short jagged cuts, or fast, take your time. Follow the line just to the outside of the line. That should do it.

Some answers here are very good. But you don't say if it just a straight line or a curved line. I use masking tape but double it on both sides.It is also 2"thick in case of a void in the wood.
If I'm cutting curves or circles I cut a straight edge about 1" away from the outer line. I use a cooping saw to cut my curves or circle til just outside of the line.This is because I have to sand the edge enough to make the line blend together. It's a long job, but I think it shows in the end.By the way the best scroll jig saw I have ever used and I think is well worth the money is Boss orbital scroll jig saw.It's a key-less chuck with the switches on the base of the machine. It looks funny, but it really helps to get close and see what it is your doing.

I don't know how much plywood you need to cut or what kind of project you are working on but a fine tooth blade for a circular saw, band saw or jig saw used along with masking tape will give you a very good smooth cut. If you want absolutely no splintering, use the" Multi-tool". works with vibrations only but not good for a long cut.

place a long straight edge on the plywood to guide the saw an use a sharp saw coated with bee wax. the straight edge can be metal wood or plactic. just clamp it at both ends so that the clamp is out of the way of your fine tooth saw blade. happy hollidays.

if you are using a power saw make sure that your cut from the back that way you won`t splinter the good side, so you mark your line on the back of the sheet, clamp a straight edge and cut

If you refering to cutting a sheet of plywood. It is better to used an electrical saw instead.
